A video for Puppy‘s track “Powder Blue” has newly been released. Originally conceived as a pyro laden performance to a packed crowd, limitations instead forced the band to scale back their plans and instead perform to an empty room by the time the actual shoot date arrived. The band commented:
“‘Powder Blue‘ is the first song on our last EP, ‘iii‘. We called it that because it was our third EP, and because there are three of us in the band. For whatever reason, triptychs, triplets, three-pieces, and trilogies felt quite important to us at that point.
The whole idea with the songs on ‘iii‘ was that they should sound like what they are: three people in a room together, with little-to-no over-dubs, add-ons, or studio wizardry. It’s fitting then that, because of world events, the video ended up mirroring this concept in its simplicity.
We had a lot of ambitious ideas for this video going into it, and for many reasons these didn’t exactly play out how we’d hoped. But we like this video now precisely because of its limitations; because, like the EP, it’s a record of three people coming together to try and make something bigger than the sum of their parts. The fact that we failed miserably doesn’t seem to matter as much now.”
