Watch Shoegaze Band Grivo's Trippy Shapeshifting New "HDC" Video

Leaning into the heavier end of the shoegaze spectrum, Austin's Grivo take inspiration from the dark, drug-induced beauty that lies just beneath the brutality. Their latest entry is the video for "HDC," which musically plays out like the middle child between Slowdive and Low, a half-paced emotional look behind the curtain and into the great beyond.

The video — courtesy of director drip//cuts— is an exercise in odd textures, shifting and rearranging to reveal facial shapes, soundwaves and structures like a last-ditch communique from a distant station afar, fading away day by day. Check it out above for the first time and pick up the record, Elude, out now via Holodeck. Grivo will play 11/23 at Hotel Vegas in Austin, Texas.
