Brooklyn based singer/songwriter Lexie Roth, the daughter of famed guitar player, Arlen Roth (who has performed with everyone from Simon and Garfunkel to Bob Dylan) and visual artist, Deborah Bussichio has just shared the music video for "Lost Memory" directed by Dan Cashman and the opening track off her 2012 self-titled debut album.
About the track and video, Lexie explains:
"Lost Memory was written as a dedication song to two people that I've lost. One, a very young family friend named Diami Piccus and my sister Gillian Mackenzie Roth. I wanted the video to be visually stimulating, colorful and nostalgic. We shot on VHS and digital hand held cameras to get a home-video sort of feel. Dan Cashman who shot and directed, incorporated his genius use of his ever-growing collection of amazing stock footage and use of live performance lights by layering them within the image.” Dan Cashman says, "Lost Memory" was shot with archaic consumer grade video technology edited and meshed with found VHS footage. I wanted to explore the ways in which decaying video, decaying memory, and decaying nature intersect and layer, creating further distortion and disintegration. The ways that this imagery can be an emotional experience was of particular interest to me, as Lexie's song conjures the feeling of a quickly fading love, like an old home movie...A video that can't be seen clearly because of the weathering effects of time."
Lexie Roth is currently finishing up touches on her forthcoming EP but in the meantime, you can purchase her self-titled debut album on iTunes, Bandcamp and Amazon.
