Alternative progressive rock band TROPE released their latest music video for Planes, a single off their highly praised debut album ‘Eleutheromania’. Showcasing a more delicate and eerie offering from the band, Planes features beautiful looping clean guitar riffs while a melodic bass line dances over the seemingly basic yet complex drum groove. Soft to frustrated vocals round out the sonic pallet that is Planes, with subtle time changes sporadically placed.
Lead singer Diana Studenberg shares, “Planes is about trying to carve out and stay in a creative space and getting constantly torn away from it by reality.. we’re all forced to deal with, in our own microcosms.”She adds, “It’s also about fiercely clinging to an ideology whilst failing to acknowledge that person standing right in front of you. Overlooking the human, clinging to our planes… ‘you should have seen it then’.”
Planes was filmed by 3 separate crews including cinematographers Edward Lim and Joseph Brock (Toronto), Malcolm Guess (Los Angeles), and Simeon Simeonov (Sofia), production assistants Bri and Raine, and was directed and edited by Moonhead. The suits worn by Diana, Sasha and Joe were made by designer Matthew Davignon in Toronto and Jesse Bella did hair and makeup.
Trope will be on tour this May/June 2022, opening for the 25-date upcoming Symphony X and Haken North American tour. Be sure to grab your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/TropeTour
