Taste Test: Little Destroyer shifts through damage of being ’21’
The alt-pop trio journey through their own damage in a brightly neon music video.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
If you’re anything like anyone else, a tormented soul wandering as skinless zombies in digital ruin, you’ve all but floundered in the modern world. Battered and wriggling in misery, Vancouver alt-pop trio Little Destroyer target a traumatic past that has only been exacerbated by ticking social feeds and constant competition. On “21,” a viscerally-charged manifesto aided by a granular, almost cerebral-centered visual, the band of Allie Sheldan, Michael Weiss and Chris Weiss drag their own bruised damages behind them and allow them to filter as light through a cracked prism, the rays further splintered into deeper hues and neons splashed across a scarred backdrop. The video, too, heaves and sighs with the weight of such a harrowing existence. It’s the kind of reality that is altogether chilling; we’re living a Black Mirror episode right here, right now.
