The Video:
Emerging from a mushroom cloud of gold confetti, Icebird, the Philly duo of rjd2 and Aaron Livingston, is excited to release the official music video for "Going And Going. And Going," the lead single from The Abandoned Lullaby, due out October 11th via RJ's Electrical Connections. A trippy and fast-paced clip, courtesy of video director Ivan Ives, "Going And Going. And Going" continues to serve as an example of the direction that rjd2 and Aaron Livingston are taking their music with this collaborative album.
In shooting the video, which premiered yesterday on VEVO, Icebird set out to present themselves with some exciting new challenges. "We wanted to do a live performance-oriented video, which is new for both of us," comments rjd2, noting that the gold confetti-strewn performance shots only begin to tell the story; the clips are interspersed with shots of rj and Aaron cruising in a convertible, before ending up waist-deep in a creek, a mermaid and skeleton romance unfolding underwater at their feet. But as entertaining as the video is, it wasn't a cakewalk for the duo. "The creek was pretty cold," remarks rjd2. "And the gold confetti - it's actually really uncomfortable being covered in that stuff, like you're being poked by a cactus."
