Vertical Scratchers share “Way Out” video

Vertical Scratchers share "Way Out" music video, from their latest album Daughter of everything. Their European tour starts April 17th in Torino, Italy

Los Angeles’ Vertical Scratchers have unveiled a sinister new music video for “Way Out” from their debut Daughter of Everything. The new project from John Schmersal (ex-Brainiac/Enon, live Caribou, and Crooks on Tape) and Christian Beaulieu (ex-Triclops!/Anywhere) also announced their first European tour, which begins April 17th in Torino, Italy.

Director Danny Perez on the video:
“Inspired by Tom Rubnitz and the mania of children’s-show programming, I wanted to use John’s elastic performance in a psychedelic location. Using the colors and geometry of the set, the video is cut rapidly to the fast-paced song to create a dizzying and optical experience.”

John Schmersal adds, “Danny is probably the only person I know who could make being confined in a straitjacket for several hours a liberating experience.”
