Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Speaking of oversized, nationally renown Denver bands, we just screened the Fray's brand new video for "Syndicate," which premiered just a bit ago on Yahoo Music.
Here's what you're in for: Tons of extreme close-ups of Isaac Slade, which he looks notably pale; composite images of the guy's faces layered on top of each other with a lighting style that vaguely recalls Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" video, interspersed with bride and groom figurines wrapped in some sort of cellophane and then inside what looks like a snow globe; a close-up of an old women's eye and then hands; and an apple with a smoking bullet hole (we think). Knee jerk reaction: Meh. Compared to the the act's other videos, this one gets the gas face. Seems kind of artsy for the sake of artsy.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
