Watch DJ Shadow’s New “Bergschrund” Video

Earlier this year, DJ Shadow released a new album called The Mountain Will Fall, featuring the Nils Frahm-assisted single “Bergschrund.” The single now has a video. Directed by Matt Devine, it stars Matthew Sunderland as the target of an alien abduction. Find statements from Devine and Shadow below.

Matt Devine:

To me the track has a really cinematic and also science fiction tone to it. I wanted to make a film that really worked with this visually but also had a humor to it. It is also my favorite track from the album so I was honored to be asked to make something for it.

DJ Shadow:

Nils Frahm is an insanely smart composer. He created a sinewy, gated vintage synth line which I then expanded upon, hopefully to complimentary effect. Bergschrund is an obscure German word for a particular type of crevasse, or ice cliff, usually found on mountains at very high elevations
