As announced right from its start, noground offers here its first video release, a 3" dvd-r with an 11-minute video track by label-runner Dan Hopkins and music from the UK duo The Delelopment of Shape, aka Steve Little (guitar) and Elvis Beetham-Wallace (drums). The artists have had an ongoing collaboration for live sets, and eventually decided to try and make it available as a "studio" release. Visuals and sound merge in a very effective and fascinating way indeed: the duo's desertic slow-motion instrumentals (somewhere between Dirty Three and post-Slintian rock) are an effective sountrack for Hopkins' stills of flashing lights, blurred landscapes and urban spleen - watching the outside world from a car window. Both intimistic and mysteryous, this short is quite an engaging experience.
