To release their new single “For 12” the Oklahoma indie rock band Other Lives wanted a music video that lived up to the song’s haunting, solitary melody. It was an opportunity to visually introduce new fans to the band’s uniquely artistic style.
Mars became the backdrop for the piece, following the doomed flight of space capsule 4-12 on its final journey over the lifeless surface of an alien world. Using motifs reminiscent of Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001 A Space Odyssey, the video juxtaposes the band’s atmospheric, folk style with futuristic mysticism to create a video that takes viewers quite literally to another world.
