Ipecac Recordings | Spotlights "Discerning Alchemy" Trailer @ipecacrecordings | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Debuting April 23rd at 3pm EST on Bandcamp. Get your tickets and find out more info at spotlights.lnk.to/doc
Spotlights celebrate the April 28 release of their new album, Alchemy For The Dead with “Discerning Alchemy,” a short film directed by award-winning documentarian John Pope (“Blood Brother,” “Almost Holy”). The film explores life as an independent artist, through the process of recording the nine-song album and the band’s DIY philosophy.
Singer and guitarist, Mario Quintero says about the film, "In early 2022, John [Pope] approached us when we were opening for Cave In in Pittsburg, with the idea of filming a “making of” video. At the time, we weren't really sure about having someone in our space while recording. Usually that process is very personal to us and on top of that our studio is tiny! But once we saw John’s work and got a chance to sit down and hear his vision, we were in 100%. He’s an absolute master of his craft, and by himself, created a piece that we believe truly shows who we are as a band and as people, while also capturing our process. We’re so exited for people to see it! It’s a perfect companion to the album."
Debuting exclusively via Bandcamp, attendees will also be the first to hear the new album, with a truly live livestream following the film’s initial screening. Mario, Sarah Quintero and Chris Enriquez will be on hand, answering questions from fans in real time.
Tickets are $3 and available at spotlights.lnk.to/doc. The film is available to replay for 48 hours following the April 23 (12 noon pacific/3 pm eastern) debut.
