HOLCOMBE WALLER: INTO THE DARK UNKNOWN

EVB has a lovely interview with Portland/via New York transplant Holcombe Waller. I love this man - he's like equal parts Laurie Anderson and Elliot Smith (*yeah, bad analogy - but the visuals and quiet impact of the work is what i'm trying to convey) and he's the only one I've seen nail Brel's "Ces Gens La" with such awesome presence and staging.
In any case - this video for "Bored of Memory" is a beautiful sumptuous visual of a sandbar (maybe in the Columbia?) that shows 2 cute guys falling in love.   Video is here.
