It arrives on the day of President Trump’s inauguration.
Uniform released a powerful and harrowing video for “The Killing Of America,” the NYC duo’s second single off Wake In Fright, out yesterday on Sacred Bones. Its timing could not be more poignant—the video, which gives a hauntingly straight-forward look at the realities of gun violence, arrives on the day of President Trump’s inauguration and casts yet another eerie shadow on the nation.
The video’s concept was influenced by Isao Hashimoto’s piece on nuclear weapons titled “1945 – 1998″— a simple map of the United States with a relentless ticker that counts off the never ending series of mass shootings the country has experienced. “Our video intends to present basic figures surrounding a complicated subject,” says Uniform in a press release. “We do not wish to moralize and we offer no answers. Instead, we ask the viewer to use this data as an aid towards formulating their own conclusions.”
