Music News - TrinityRoots share new video with traditional Maori puppetry - Karetao
17 June 2016 - 0 Comments
Fresh from their NZ
tour TrinityRoots are now packing their bags for their five date double coast
charge on Australia. Before they go – they want to share their brand new video
for the latest single off the Citizen album, This
Road, with their fans.
The video was made and directed by
Wellington creatives RDYSTDY (Hollie
Smith, French for Rabbits, Dictaphone Blues, Ghostwave) and The Bow (Flying
Lotus) and
was developed from TrinityRoots frontman, Warren Maxwell’s chance meeting with
a maker of Karetao (traditional
Māori puppets).
Warren explains the inspiration; “I had a chance meeting with James Webster (Traditional Māori puppeteer) and
saw his Karetao puppets and loved how expressive they were when he brought them
to life. We started talking about how insecurities and communication
(especially amongst males) seem to be at the core of a lot of social issues. I
really liked the idea of Karetao ( puppets) portraying a more abstract
mysticism and hopefully reflecting the complexities of our psyche. We can be
incredibly strong like pounamu but we can also be as fragile as
porcelain."
This Road is the third music video from the latest album Citizen, following on from footstomper, Haiku and
the swooning whirls of El Kaptain.
