I remember the first time I saw Fool’s Gold I was blown away. The five-piece group from Los Angeles had an energy about them that made you just want to dance uncontrollably. Linking up with director Tim Nackashi, the band has finally released the music video for “The Dive” off of their album, Leave No Trace, released last year.
“The inspiration for the video came from conversations with Fool’s Gold about how sometimes in order to do what you love, you have to say goodbye to everyone and everything you love — at least for a long while — when you’re traveling on a tour or obsessively diving into the next album,” Nackashi told NPR. “So that was our launching off point for the video, which is about a lone scientist who experiences some kind of cross-sensory synesthesia when she obsessively uses her scientific equipment to take in the nature around her. She sees and hears the vibrations from the rocks, leaves and water around her. But then when she finally submerges herself in the ocean, everyone she left behind comes flooding back in a dreamy underwater reunion.”
