Lorn - Acid Rain


You ever stumble across something magical on the internet and wonder with a mixture of shock and embarrassment how you hadn’t seen it earlier? That’s totally us with “Acid Rain,” the truly remarkable video from EDM producer Lorn. We saw it, instantly fell in love, and had to share it. Who cares if it’s nearly a year old? This planet has been around for 4.5 billion years, a single one of those isn’t a very long time, so the “new” adjective still works from that perspective.
Anyways, “Acid Rain” is everything we’d ever want from a music video: Great Song? Check. A lengthy single cut? Check. Car crash, thus featuring the possibility of an allusion to J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers’ “Last Kiss”? Check. A highly-choreographed dance number featuring multi-ethnic zombie cheerleaders? Check.
This is the sort of thing you have to invent reasons for not liking. Director by Pavel Brenner, Julian Flores, and Sherif Alabede, “Acid Rain” plays like an insane mix of American Beauty, Zombieland and Bring It On. And yes I just dated the shit out of myself with those references. But kindly ignore that and proceed to watching this jaw-droopingly awesome video.  From: https://www.wearetheguard.com/music/best-music-videos-lorn-acid-rain
