After drawing attention with the intensity of their debut EP, The Watcher , released in the first half of the year, the band NUDZ has released another music video from the album. In “Time For Recreation,” the group appears singing amidst a bus where the seats have given way to limitless fun, an environment of freedom where social constraints have no effect. The video is now available on NUDZ's official YouTube channel.
While the lyrics confront notions of reality and daydreaming, in verses like "Have you ever gotten so high that you need to put shackles in your mind?", the music video breaks free from any convention by inviting enjoyment, where an unconventional lifestyle is fueled by excess, regrets, agonies, and altered states of consciousness.
“With this release, we want to represent diversity and, above all, resistance! As the title suggests, we invite you to take some 'time for recreation'. Life isn't easy for anyone, so this is a way to sublimate the difficulties of the current political and social times,” reflects guitarist Fred Chamone , who also contributes backing vocals. Besides him, the band consists of Gabriel Lisboa (drums), Felipe Valente (bass), and Filipe Dutra (vocals and guitar) .
The unusual location is none other than an old American-style school bus that's part of Jeca-Tatu, a cultural museum and roadside bar on the route between Belo Horizonte and Lavras Novas. In the adapted vehicle, the seating area becomes a dance floor, and the blue and colorful LED lighting creates a warm and intense atmosphere. All this to match the heavy instrumental of the track, which combines guitars with a stoner, post-grunge, and nu-metal vibe that permeates "The Watcher ," NUDZ's first original release.
