Marias - Saint in the Car
"Multimedia artist Cassie McQuater’s video for the melancholy psych track “Saint in the Car” flows through surreal landscapes created from the collaging of sprites taken from video games from the 1970s to the current day. These bizarre worlds, populated by a majority female cast are at once alien, and yet maybe they seem to reflect our own universe through some odd double distorted mirror. The fatalist and semi-abstract lyrical content along with spacious and ethereal sound of the track combine with the visuals to create a dreamy symbolic space open to interpretation or literal reading. Saint in the Car wallows in the darkness in a mode close to apocalyptic but out of death comes rebirth and with it lush green grass." - Northern Transmissions
