Live Review: WATCH: Com Truise 'Subsonic' (Official Video)
Com Truise's latest music video brings together digital nostalgia and bright synths, which is a damn good combination.
A truly awesome track always needs a music video that emphasises it's atmosphere. COM TRUISE's 'Subsonic' luckily has had a music video perfectly suited to it's spacial landscape.
COM TRUISE has always had a knack for creating totally out-of-this-world tracks and when 'Subsonic' emerged, everybody had a fair idea of what they were in for.
'Subsonic' has a slow build full of synths that bring out an ambience that just sounds cool and calm. The synths begin to slide there way up until we break into the song and a heavy beat is accompanying glistening synths. Large bass bursts stomp across 'Subsonic' with scattered samples darted left right and centre and then we soon slide back down to the quiet ambience of the introduction. Basically when you hear it you think digital nostalgia with a series of colours, however in the new video, we aren't given as many colours as much as we are given nostalgia.
Directed and designed by Han Lo, the 'Subsonic' video begins simply in black and white, as we stare into a very ancient looking computer screen. The nostalgia for the first computers definitely arises in this clip and as the video rolls on, it's like we are seeing the computer evolve from it's primitive forms, to the high-tech screens we have now.

Of course the video isn't just of a computer screen, there are short clips from elsewhere popping in and out of the video. There's a static video of lips moving, Digital patterns spread across the screen and slowly, the video goes from black and white into a digital dream of dancing patterns.
COM TRUISE is currently touring across Europe and every now and again a new track or remix will trickle out of his library. Hopefully we'll be seeing a few more soon.
