Michael Lawrence just sent us this captivating video he created for Levek’s “Black Mold Grow”, and I think I’ve watched it about 5 times in the last hour. I would try and provide more insight for the clip, but I think Michael does a much better job:

“David (from Levek) and I spoke for months about the meaning behind the album, “Black Mold Grow” in particular. Similar images kept on coming into both of our heads – a gauzy, transcendental view on a young woman’s struggle with her psyche. Creating the film was an organic process – everything from the original script to the end product was guided by the nature surrounding us. The locations and environments added a large scope to the film – but, more than anything, created a backdrop for a character-driven story to unfold in a spontaneous, genuine way.”
