Shadow Shadow Shade (formally called Afternoons)


WHITE HORSE from SHADOW SHADOW SHADE on Vimeo.


This is a video trilogy that combines three songs together to tell a very saddening story.


From the new album the songs are:
1) Amputee
2) You are my perfect wilderness
3) Dark of Heather 

This Los Angeles band was called "Afternoon", but had to 
change their name for legality issues with the Welch Band "the Afternoon".  After, seven long months of thinking, and looking in at suggestions Shadow Shadow Shade was chosen.  This band started as a side art project between Ben and Steve, and a few recorded songs. After, the demo got some attention by some promoters in Silver Lake, did the members start to take themselves serious. 


When asked who was the major influences for the band this was their response in a interview with Spinner Magazine: 


So hard to say. Claire is an opera singer, and Tom's a producer who's worked withKanye and the Wires. We all really like Pavement; all love the Beatles. With this album we reference a lot of Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, and the Mamas and Papas."
