More excellent work from Shigeto this week with the release of his amazing noir-style video for “Detroit Part 1“. Directed by Rafe Scobery-Thal of The Mandus Films collective, and featuring animations and effects by Anthony Ciannamea, the cryptic unsettling video follows musician Zach Saginaw thru desolate urban landscapes as he seems engaged in a dream-like mission–the goal of which is difficult to discern. Shigeto’s new LP No Better Time Than Now is out on Ghostly International, and the artist is currently on an extensive US tour so take a look at the dates below.
