The Trendees Share Video 'Collusion Of Bad Smells'

Oamaru noise-punks The Trendees have unveiled a senses-defying DIY video for their song 'Collusion Of Bad Smells', originally featured (unnamed) on their recent collection TRENDEESXXX and manifesting here in a re-recorded, higher-fidelity form. Directed by Trendees frontperson Matt Plunkett, the clip presents a slice-of-life portrait of the energetic trio in action, collaging together "footage from various trips to shows / preparation for shows / actual shows / practice-space extravaganzas and occasional run-ins with the law... plus waiting for food" into a gripping visual counterpoint to the song's fraught sonic narrative. Plunkett kindly lifted the lid on the ideas and circumstances behind the work, stating...

"I guess this song was inspired initially by housing developments and then went from there... this is also a plea for other people to make videos for us next time."
