Driving tirelessly through darkness in search of perfect daylight, only to watch it fade to orange and slip away again. We searched and discovered new ways to befriend this wonderful place, danced blind and drunk on the snowy streets of Reykjavik. We collaborated on the score with our friend and newest member of the collective Edo Van Breemen, who collected snippets of sound and lyrics from the landscape, transforming the entire journey into a recording studio. We worked together, played together, ate together, and (somehow) returned home together.

Vancouver based Lifetime and Salazar bring you part two of their trip to the desert highlighting their 2012 Spring and Summer lines.

When ten human beings cram their bodies and belongings into a van and embark on a weeklong journey into the desert, you can be sure the trip will represent something slightly different for everyone: adventure, relaxation, or even a romance produced by lack-of-sleep.

But at least they can all agree on one thing: that Lifetime shoots will inevitably go as unplanned and strangers will soon become family.

Mixing poetry and music, this film tells the story of four kids whose desire to escape the daily grind results in a weeklong voyage into the red sands of Arizona.

Tired of work, with big dreams of play, our group is overcome by the longing for a new place to roam, jump, dance and camp out. This is Salazar’s vision of bliss, a portrait of the road and a love letter to the crazy adventures that Lifetime can’t help but attract.

The story is split in 2. Where Part 1 mirrors the home movie, full of climactic moments and candid gems, Part 2 explores the land and all the escapist madness it generated.

“We drove endless hours falling in and out of sleep. I’d close my eyes in a forest and wake up in a red sand desert. The constant rumble of the tires on the road created a vibration that followed us everywhere.”

Why they may have stayed too long…

Watch part one here.

Been listening to the newly released Babe Rainbow ep, when I came across the new Salazar short film for the “Shaved” track.

Our fave lil Vancouver hero Cameron Reed of Music Waste fame has been blowing up with his Babe Rainbow project.  His new “Shaved” EP is out Feb 8/9th on Warp Record (who you might know?).

Also check out some love from the mighty Stereogum who premiered his Doom remix…

MF Doom – Gazzillion Ear (Babe Rainbow Remix)

We could go on but we mainly want to brag that we put on his first live show.

He has been collaborating with the Salazar people who have done little mini films for each of the songs on the ep.  Check out the teasers they’re splendid and creepy and just how you like it.
