Walk Off the Earth Releases New 'Red Hands' Video on NPR

Related: LAST VEGAS

Walk Off The Earth have released a brand new video for original song "Red Hands," which premiered on NPR's All Songs Considered. The group are already known for their innovative, unique homemade videos, and this one is no different. NPR's Bob Boilen calls the video "high-concept but homemade, a little like the work of director Michel Gondry or the videos made by OK Go. It's a bit of a visual puzzle."

The video, directed by Ellis Bahl, was shot in a single take in a warehouse in LA, and required the band to perform the song out of order and at different speeds to achieve the effect of jumping through time. Bahl explains, "We shot it on a steady-cam and walked backwards down the whole hallway with the band walking forwards performing the out of order song towards the camera. We only had enough supplies/daylight for ten takes and finally got it on the last one. It was really scary, but the payoff was immense."

"Red Hands" is one of four tracks on WOTE's just-released R.E.V.O. EP. "When we originally wrote the song, we were thinking about taking responsibility for your actions and standing up on your own when things go wrong... rather than blaming other people around you. Sometimes you just have to accept the circumstances that are thrown your way without pointing the finger," says Gianni Luminati. Rolling Stone says of the song "'Red Hands' explodes with xylophone, walls of drums and anthemic chants," and the NY Daily News has also praised the EP's "rustic folk-pop originals with pluck."
