Championing a holistic creative flair, American duo The Hogstad Brothers make some of the most peculiar music we have heard recently. Not only that: the pair is also well-versed in visual arts, crafting cryptic, otherworldly videos using “hacked infrared depth cameras”. Both keen musicians and songwriters, the pair are actual brothers, a curious fact that adds to the quirkiness of the project.
‘Worth It’ is The Hogstad Brothers’ latest effort, an intricate, digital-sounding piece with a strong emphasis on fuzzy tones and creative sound design. Embracing leftfield electronica and a certain vintage flair, ‘Worth It’ is not necessarily abstract, having clear melodies and a defined structure. Its sonic livery is what makes the record stand out in the global music landscape, marking the project as one-of-a-kind.
Channelling their DJ and VJ qualities, The Hogstad Brothers built the music video with “a hacked X-Box Kinect camera and a unique 3D visual generation program that we created in collaboration with a hacker friend.” The result is unique and compelling, showcasing not only the duo’s musical potential but also their overall creative charge.
