Boy Harsher have revealed today their video for the Rabit remix of “LA”, a track featured on Careful Remixes etc, a compilation album of reinterpretations of tracks featured on the band’s critically acclaimed second studio album released earlier this year.
Rabit (Eric Burton) releases records on Tri Angle, Ninja Tune, and runs his own label Halcyon Veil, out of Houston, Texas. Burton was featured as a producer on Björk’s Grammy-nominated album Utopia for the track “Losss”.
In the new clip, director Kathleen Dycaico continues the character created in the video for the original track “LA,” journeying to an inner life where consciousness is split between characters Hunter and Harmony; one grieving the end of the world they knew, the other biting into a burning future.
Dycaico explains:
“Hunter and Harmony are two sides of a coin, faces vs face, field vs ground. Harmony is heartbroken in their burning house, inner mirror to complete environmental collapse. Hunter evolved ruthless to protect Harmony, and to face the outside world. Running in despair. Heavy the weight of desire. I loved our world.”

In celebration of this video release, Kathleen Dycaico worked with digital artist Úna Blue to create an Instagram face filter modeled after her apocalyptic character Hunter. Dycaico describes Hunter’s scorpions as: “built to withstand harsh country, not vengeful unless bothered, symbol of betrayal, poisonous. Protective of the mouth, entryway to interiority and gatekeepers of what exits.”
