Sharing Cigarettes and Avatar Blood in Kane Vale’s “Pure Harm”

After moving to Belgium at a young age, Kane Vale (formerly known as Tarantula X) has returned to his roots and immersed himself in Toronto's musical and cultural hotbed. Now he's ready to release new material, starting with a music video for his track "Pure Harm" from his recent full-length album, Oleander.

"Pure Harm" is a creation by the crew at LIGHT & HEVVY, a Toronto-based photography, film, and design operation. The track's refreshing and melodic beat is juxtaposed against the dark and shaded tones of the video. "Pure Harm" is depicted through a storyline, one that involves some avatar blood and cigarette swapping.

The track itself is the audio translation of a summer breeze. Vale fluidly meshes the steady synths with some atmospheric samples to create one dark and unexpected story.
