My very good friends from Ashtray Electric have done it again! They just recently released their brand new music video from their 2nd LP "Measure In Falls". The video was shot in Ceres and yes it does snow in South Africa.
The coolest thing about their new album, which is very original, is the way they created the album cover. The album cover shot features actual DNA strands of the bandmembers. Each band member had the inside of their cheeks swabbed with an ear bud. The epithelial (skin cell) tissue extracted from each member was lysed (breaking down of the cell wall) to expose the entire genetic genome into the lysed material. The DNA was then purified from all other cellular bodies and amplified using PCR technology. Each sample of DNA was then cut using a cocktail of enzymes and run in separate lanes on a Electrophoresis Gell giving rise to the 4 smears witnessed on the image. The broken bands in the 5th lane is a simple molecular weight marker. How's that for you?
