In DJ Shadow‘s new visuals for “Bergschrund” featuring German composer Nils Frahm, actor/director Matthew Sunderland plays a man who presumably just left the grocery store with a six-pack of beer, but must fight an alien abduction in the parking lot. Taken from the turntablist’s latest album, The Mountain Will Fall, which also features Killer Mike and El-P of Run The Jewels on “Nobody Speak,” the instrumental track is given eerie new life in the Matt Devine-directed video.
“Nils Frahm is an insanely smart composer,” DJ Shadow (real name Josh Davis) said in a statement. “He created a sinewy, gated vintage synth line which I then expanded upon, hopefully to complimentary effect. ‘Bergschrund’ is an obscure German word for a particular type of crevasse, or ice cliff, usually found on mountains at very high elevations.”
