Yoo Doo Right – Eager Glacier

by Stephan Boissonneault

Montreal’s post-rock wall of noise giants, Yoo Doo Right have a new single and video entitled “Eager Glacier.” Beginning with warring drums that feel like an unsettling battering ram under a bed of warped and distorted squeals to tape, buzzing strings, gargantuan bass, and haunting, synthetic whirrs, “Eager Glacier,” is a dusky opus steeped in rumination.

Accompanied by the new single is an experimental almost completely black and white short film by Stacy Lee, featuring wispy hooded figures (reminiscent perhaps of Dune‘s Bene Gesserit or Sleep’s iconic album cover, Dopesmoker) ascending a grassy cliffside to meet. The lumbering quality of Yoo Doo Right’s music pairs well with the wraith-like figures presence as well as the film’s cinematography—a slow pullout and eventual zoom that shows the majesty of the figures and land) that soon morphs into a painterly chaotic explosion.

It’s a blur between the fractured line between reality and the surreal, much like the experimental song itself. Partway through, the film is also somewhat of a love letter to the filmmaker’s process, diving through rolls of exposed film and getting lost within the microscopic universe.

Eager Glacier is the second single off of Yoo Doo Right’s upcoming album, From the Heights of Our Pastureland—out November 8 via Mothland.
