Record Setter // "Present Tense" Music Video

Right before Halloween Record Setter premiered an eerie and suspenseful new music video for their track "Present Tense", over on Brooklyn Vegan.

"When I wrote this song it was purposefully void of lyrics as a break for the listener to pause and possibly reflect," vocalist Judy Mitchell tells us. "What little lyrics there are focus on the act of rumination or reminiscing. So when Erin came to us with this idea of a sort of dissociated memory of a violent act, I thought that perfectly fit the mood of the music."

The video was directed by Erin Devany of All Hallows Productions, who says "The idea for this video actually came to me in a nightmare a few years ago." Give it a watch:
