Bushwick-based indie band SoftSpot just freshly released their new music video! The Cleansing Hour is an acutely melancholic, dreamy journey to visually and emotional beauty. Directed and edited by Ryan Dickie, the video is marked with SoftSpot’s signature kaleidoscope visions and a poetic infusion of water, fire and earth. Bushwick’s SoftSpot writes in their email that the project is a clear labor of love, bringing together a talented group of friends to raise the possibilities of DIY production. Designer Savannah Wyatt handmade the elaborate costumes and masks while SoftSpot produced the video with a heavy hand in every department.
