"Coffee", the seven-minute long epic from Kal Marks' latest LP Life is Alright… Everybody Dies, has been given video treatment by director Sheree Chen. In the single, the Boston-bred post-punks confront life-affirming sadness with moments of quiet intoning punctuated by high-energy sections of earthy distortion. The track's video orbits the growth and decay of a couple's relationship, framing moments of joy and grief in a cool, stark visual palette. Passionate confrontations are cut with pastoral landscapes and moments of contemplation in a way that pairs with the peaks and valleys of song's terrain. We as the audience are passive observers to a private drama, unfolding in both the character's minds and bodies. The tortured vocals of the track provide the script, and the intricate instrumental textures propel the scene forward.
