SECONDHAND CAPTURES

Dear Friends,
Ever since we began writing music together we’ve been fascinated by the multitude of ways music can transcend mediums and influence other forms of art. Over the past two years we’ve developed a visual identity alongside the music, obsessively curating our tumblr page and creating found footage videos to accompany the tracks we released. Through this, collage became the foundation of our aesthetic, and we created original photographs, artwork and videos that built on these ideas.

As we began planning the release of our debut album, Secondhand Rapture, we wanted to continue exploring the idea of collage to create a visual accompaniment to every song. This became SECONDHAND CAPTURES, a collaboration with many of the video and digital design artists we’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past two years.

We gave five directors two or three songs from the album and asked them to create an accompanying visual that could be played on loop for the duration of the song. Each brings their own style and vision to the project, providing a new face to the music.

In addition to the clips that emerged from these collaborations, we’ve incorporated photos from instagram within the player, inviting our fans to contribute their own visual ideas to the collage. Any photo uploaded with both the hashtag at the bottom of the screen and #msmr is automatically included in the player – please get involved.

all our <3,
MS MR xx
