"The video for Dark Time Sunshine's "Doom/Go Team/Wrong Kids" has been much on my mind these past few days. Directed by a promising local filmmaker, Christian Hansen, the video is organized into three parts. The first is about the creative meeting point of Cape Cowen (Onry Ozzborn) and Zavala. Cape Cowen is from Seattle; Zavala is from Chicago. Cowen brings the rhymes; Zavala brings the beats. The world created by the meeting of the minds is at once dark and sparkly, bitter and sweet, soft and muscular, hurt and hopeful.
The second part of the video finds Onry Ozzborn in a command center. This section, which is transitional, recalls this video.
The final part, which is the best part of the video, has two elements. One features the current school of local hiphop—cats like Mad Rad, They Live!, Champagne Champagne, and the duo of the moment THEESatisfaction. The first wave finds itself in the middle of the third wave. Yet there is no tension, no resistance, no contradiction—the veteran is at home in a scene that has radically changed from the old Oldominion's days.
The other element features none other than Kelly O riding a bicycle through what looks like a bad dream.
Combining the enigmatic energy of the current school with the dreamy cycling captures the troubling restlessness (and even mystery) of the music—glimmers of hope, the rush and snap of the beat, the blurry street lights, the sadness in the hinted melody, the colorful cast of local cats, the rising and falling urban warmth. As with the music, there is something very special (or ineffable) at the heart of the video."
