Strand & The Banksters estrenan vídeo

De Strand seguro que has oído hablar. Entre otras cosas porque allá por el mes de octubre firmó uno de nuestros PlayGround Mixes. Pero y The Banksters, ¿quiénes son The Banksters? Pues ni más ni menos que Mario Zamora de Lüger y Javier Díez Ena de Dead Capo y Ginferno. Juntos se encerraron el año pasado en los estudios Red Bull en Madrid y de allí salieron dos temas que Lovemonk editó en formato de 7” en diciembre. Ahora el sello nos presenta el videoclip que han hecho para la cara B de ese single, “Intervención / Rescate”, tirando de imágenes grabadas en la fabrica holandesa en la que Lovemonk fabrica sus discos. Estética de vídeo promocional de empresa con calores de producción lo-fi a mayor gloria del vinilo.
