Track (with Video) Of the Day: Power Came to Them by Kone

2:18 PM PDT on June 28, 2012

"Power Came To Them" is the lead track to Kone's new extended player Legend Days (Alpha Pup). The record is a journey to find the artifacts of an earlier time, when humans and nature co-existed in harmony. This video depicts that search, an attempt to get in touch with the Earth in a way that mankind has long forgotten. The video was created by California Pastoral, the duo of filmmakers Davon Ramos and Jesse Redding Fleming.
"It was intended to be a visual compliment to the rhythmic, progressive, almost tribal song, where the viewer/listener is immersed in this relationship between the music and nature. The symbolism of the music is reflected in the passage of time, the petroglyphs, and the huge expanses of desert geography. It speaks to the transcendent qualities of the music and the ephemeral qualities of our experience." -california pastoral
