Athens, GA post punk / goth /new wave band Vision Video have unleashed the video for “Let Go of Time“.
The song is taken from their third studio album ‘Modern Horror‘, which came out last week (October 22). Grab it here if you haven’t already.
Revolving around EMILY FREDOCK and DUSTY GANNON aka “Goth Dad”, Vision Video creates intense and uncompromising goth rock with a message, Injecting malaise into post-punk and new wave to create music that is refreshingly modern. ‘Modern Horror’ goes to much darker places than earlier releases, leaning into Gannon’s experiences as an anti-war Afghanistan veteran and firefighter-paramedic and drawing attention to the seeming hopelessness of current world circumstances.
Of the track, Dusty shares:
“I wrote Let Go of Time not long after I was diagnosed with PTSD. I was watching my favorite vampire film, the incredible Jim Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive” and I found myself feeling a lot of parallels to how the character Adam (played by Tom Hiddleston) felt about the world – having to endure for so long, but always feeling less and less purpose because of this diminishing luster of things.”
“I think that film, and ultimately this song is about finding purpose, joy and love when it is most difficult to find those things in life. It’s about the endurance of love when you have someone that will give everything to spend time with you, to be present with you when you are not well. I’m really fortunate to have that in my life with my partner Scarlet. She has seen me in my lowest moments and my darkest hours and she is still there, always kind and loving and pushing me up to the light.”
