“We
set out to make a music video and we ended up making a short film,”
says SUR founder Zack Arnett. “Our director Phillip Montgomery
encapsulated the theme of the song with a precise vision, he brought a
new life to the music, like giving a face to a voice with a dream like
cinematic look. This one is for the warrior within us all. Here's to the
beast!!”
SUR is the brainchild of musician/producer Zack Arnett, who also adds to his credentials visual artist, poet, medicinal farmer and apothecarian. Frustrated
by the confines of Los Angeles, Arnett built a makeshift studio in the
back of an RV and set out on a journey through the desert, national
parks and Big Sur. While out on the road, Arnett began creating a sound
both gritty and melodic, nuanced and volatile, reflective and deeply
life-affirming. The lifelong
musician will release a debut EP early next year that fully embodies the
forces at the heart of SUR: love, violence, and nature.
