Video: Benoît Pioulard: "Triggering Back"

Well, it's not the song we'd have chosen to make a video for. That would have been recent Infinite Mixtape entry "Palimend". And we probably wouldn't have portrayed ourselves as desolate, heavy-hearted, hopelessly romantic photographers, either. But we're not Benoît Pioulard (aka Thomas Meluch), so until we start making our own goddamn videos, we're sort of at this guy's mercy.

The clip isn't exactly bad-- I mean, we're no nature-haters or anything. Like the song itself, the video for "Triggering Back" (off Pioulard's recent Kranky debut, Précis) stirs up plenty of adjectives along the lines of "pretty," "dreamy" and "nice." Sadly, all of those are overridden by the word "corny."

In related news, Ghostly International plans to release the digital-only EP compilation New Faces, on December 26. It features a new cut from Pioulard, titled "Little a Strongly More Grow I", alongside contributions from JDSY, Wisp, the Reflecting Skin, and the incredibly named Manhunter. Those tracks are currently streaming here.

As for touring, Pioulard has a single show scheduled. It takes place tomorrow evening (December 8) with Chicago's own Califone at Ann Arbor, MI's University Club. Seriously, though, if you haven't checked "Palimend"-- come on, we're only giving it away!
