They Live Here Get Creepy with The Reservations "Live Forever"
Posted by Travis Ritter on Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 3:21 PM
I have to applaud whoever called The Reservations "Booker T. and the Black Sabbaths." The band pits '60s psychedelic organ swells and swampy guitar riffs for deliciously dark results. This very low budget video for The Reservations' "Live Forever" superimposes a constantly panning shot of the band, which includes Mattress' Rex Marshall and former Of Montreal bassist Matt Dawson, over grainy black and white footage of cemeteries and burial chambers, creating a paranormal aesthetic that fits the songs vibe like the suit on a corpse in a casket. Go on and dance with the dead.
The Reservations will be releasing a full-length in the near future on Gnar Tapes. They play the Know (2026 NE Alberta) on Saturday, April 9.
