Extra Time – Where Is The Light
The brand new release Where Is The Light from Brendan McNamaraās project, Extra Time, is already
scoring goals since its release on 22 January. The first single from his second album, Songs With Long
Titles, is beautifully supported by an animated film clip created by renowned Sydney based Brazilian
artist, Gabriel Gareso. The film clip has just been officially selected for the Berlin Lift Off Film Festival, screening in Berlin Germany between 15 and 25 February.
Where Is The Light speaks of the Japanese āHikikomoriā ā a severe social withdrawal most prevalent in young adolescent males whereby they isolate themselves in their rooms for months on end. A highly relatable concept in todayās modern era and especially apt given Brendanās day job as a video game creator and director.
The clip is the freelance 2D animator and illustratorās first music video, so he has certainly made his
mark being included in the international film festival.
āMy goal was to delve into the emotional aspects of loneliness, highlighting that despite being more virtually connected than ever, loneliness and depression also seem stronger than ever. The main challenge of this project was to create an engaging visual interpretation of the song while keeping it within budget. 4 minutes of animation is a LOT. The bandās creative freedom was crucial, making the entire process exceptionally smooth.ā
To date the video has amassed over 96,000 views! A unique opportunity to be part of the interactive
release of Extra Timeās latest album is to look out for billboards featuring the album cover art created
by German artist Lucas Zimmerman popping up worldwide. Extra Time invite you to take a selfie with one of the billboards and post it on social media tagging @extra_time_music in your post.
The vinyl release is available now for preorder ā a beautiful gatefold presentation released globally on
Foghorn Records, recorded and mixed at one of the industryās leading spaces Damien Gerard Studios
at West Gosford, Australia. Engineered and mixed by ex Los Angeles engineer Andrew Beck and
mastered by Grammy Award Winner William Bowden.
