Ricky Eat Acid shares ‘Nice To See You’ video, releases remix EP
Staying true to a bubblegum pop influence, Sam Ray’s new record sees him experimenting further and teaming up with Owen Pallett.
Ricky Eat Acid - aka Maryland-based producer Sam Ray - released his latest album ‘Talk To You Soon’ towards the end of last year, and he’s now shared a video for one of its standout tracks, ‘Nice To See You’.Ray has also released a remix EP containing four new versions of ‘Nice To See You’, out now on Terrible Records.Talking about the new video, the clip’s director Aron Johnson says: “’Nice To See You’ is a grim love story between a semi genderless computer programmer and an IBM 5155 portable computer virus. Initially, the video revolved around a character whose vision was upgraded to see in a higher resolution. In the beginning it was all one sided ideas, but after sitting with the music, the themes shifted.“One night after sitting in front of my computer for hours I took a look at myself. The character, living in this isolated world would be lonely, desperately lonely. The video moved in a new direction - surrounding a lonely character who is trapped working tirelessly on a computer. Upon discovering an attractive piece of code, the character is lured deeper and deeper into the depths of the virus - until it’s too late.”Pretty deep, huh? Watch the video and stream the remix EP below.
