One of Chicago’s favorite duos, Ohmme, are sharing today their latest single, “The Limit.” The new track comes with a music video shown above that features the pair green screened over bizarre clips and stock footage, which was directed by Hannah Welever, edited/VFX by Priscilla Perez, and animated by Connor Reed (Jazz Records Animations).
Ohmme’s new album, Fantasize Your Ghost, will arrive next Friday, June 5th on Joyful Noise Recordings, with the physical retail release date pushed to July 31, 2020.
Ohmme said of the new visual:
The video for ‘The Limit’ was birthed out of the urge to create and collaborate with friends even while far apart… Hannah Welever made it really exciting to explore the possibilities of creating a video together in isolation – putting new meaning to the song and applying it to the things we are experiencing now. Performing alone in front of a green screen was challenging, but left room for endless possibilities!
Says director Hannah Welever:
It was a blast working to adapt to the current climate of ‘making things’ with this new video,” “We had Sima and Macie film themselves at home on a green screen while I directed via Facetime, and my editor (Priscilla Perez) and I pulled Found Footage that felt like something you would see on an 80’s tube TV. I wanted to transport Ohmme to a nostalgic and colorful dream-scape to distract us from the cloud hanging above our world right now, and bring some lightness to the day-to-day monotony.
