For director Scott Cudmore, the new video for Timber Timbre’s “Grand Canyon” begs the existential question: What the hell are we doing here? “The idea wasn’t to tell a single literal story, but rather to show fragments of many moments in many different lives, to create a series of pulled-apart vignettes but that all convey a similar theme,” says Cudmore. “To me it’s about alienation in various forms –  alienation from each other, from the planet that we live on, etc. Where have we been and where are we going? The first time I flew over the Grand Canyon I found it totally overwhelming. We’re just a bunch of ultimately insignificant beasts roaming around on a planet that we don’t really understand and that is almost impossible to reconcile our existence with. But to me that creates a sense of wonder much more so than dread or fear.”

This December the band will bring Hot Dreams to Lee’s Palace for three nights following their European Tour. Full tour dates including stops in France and the UK are listed below.
