Watch: ‘Painstaking Obsession’ – Lucid Recess

Lucid Recess are a three-piece alternative act from Guwahati, Assam. They released their first EP Carved late last year. They will also be supporting Norwegian doom metal band Sahg on the Shillong leg (Nov 5) of Great Indian Rock 2008.

‘Painstaking Obsession’ is a track off the Carved EP. It’s pretty much generic, mid-late-’90s alternative that’s not very imaginative but would sound average in open air like at I-Rock. The video for said song is a four and a half minute shindig in black and white. According to the band

The Story (Abstract): Our song is about addictions and trying to come out clean. In the video, John is a crack/drug addict who is forced to confront his demons and decide to live life as an addict or to free himself off his addiction.

The video was shot by the ‘Theatre studies Group, The University Of Surrey, UK’, and it does look like a college project, but at least it has a concept and is not some rehash of an exhausted idea.
