Soundgarden‘s previously unreleased “Night Surf” short film can be seen below. The music was written by bassist Ben Shepherd with the video directed by his brother Henry. It originally opened the bands set during a portion of their 1994 touring. Guitarist Kim Thayil said of this online debut:
“‘Night Surf‘ is an instrumental piece written, performed, and recorded by Ben Shepherd, and used as the soundtrack companion for a film short directed by Henry Shepherd. The work ran as an opening to Soundgarden‘s live shows during the ’94 Superunknown U.S. tour only, and otherwise had never been available, or shown since, until now. Those who were in attendance, and attentive to the intro at a Soundgarden concert during this tour have been the only ones fortunate enough to view and hear “Night Surf“. The song had never been released before, and now it is newly remastered for the ‘Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path‘ box set collection of non-album tracks, and rarities. The film had been buried in storage, and only recently was it located, dusted off, and remastered for its debut here, online, or anywhere after 21 years!”
