MC Lars & Mega Ran Premiere “Walden” Video on The Talkhouse
“Walden” was the first song we wrote for the Dewey Decibel System, with verses by Mega Ran and the chorus by MC Lars. Part of the fun of creating this album was reading all of the books, poems, plays, and graphic novels that inspired the tracks; it was a process of “unplugging” and being in touch with an older way of communication (namely, books). We filmed the music video for this at Walden Pond, after our show in Boston around the time we made this track. Our favorite shot is Thoreau looking at the iPhone, which surprisingly fit into his contemplative hand.
