“Long Dark Night”, the new video from My Ruin, the Los Angeles based band featuring the husband-and-wife rock duo of vocalist Tairrie B. Murphy and multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by My Ruins “good friend and longtime fan”, Tor Burrows of Notorious Design.
Commented Tairrie: “This latest offering is video number 5 for My Ruin that Tor has directed for us, but this time, unlike her usual live-performance-only-style videos, she has created a beautiful world encompassing the band which I have had a hand in bringing to life with her based on the inspiration behind the lyrics of ‘Long Dark Night’ from our current album, ‘Ghosts And Good Stories’.
Our new video contains high-quality HD live footage shot by Tor during My Ruin’s Hammerfest III appearance in the U.K. earlier this year mixed with footage from our April show at L.A.’s infamous Whisky a Go Go, shot by our friend and former drummer Marcelo Palomino. It also includes some very raw footage I shot of myself in my house with our Sony Camcorder along with various pieces of vintage art and film we collected in public domain stock footage. All of which combined help to define the video within its delicate shadings, hidden nuances and harsh realities.”
