The Clamor, outfit of NYC based musician, producer, and author Aaron Louis, have returned with a stop-motion video for “Staircase Stomp”. “Staircase Stomp” delves into “the allure of self-destructive behavior, and a call to reconsider those darker tendencies.”

The song “navigates the recognition of a sense of emptiness and unmet desires in life, coupled with an internal rebellion and the quest for comfort and connection.”

Aaron Louis says about the music video:

The Staircase Stomp music video by The Clamor brings together the meticulous stop-motion artistry of Jody McKee and the dynamic digital animation of Scotty Hull to explore themes of identity and inner conflict. With the animator’s haunting visuals, and lyrics that delve into psychological tension, the video blurs the lines between external chaos and internal struggles, offering what I hope is a meaningful reflection on the complexity of self-awareness.

The Clamor’s single “Staircase Stomp” features Production, tracking, and mixing by Jeff Berner at Studio G in Brooklyn, NY. The Clamor’s musical lineup boasts Aaron Louis on vocals, guitar and organ, accompanied by Gary Atturio on bass, Omer Leibovitz and Kirk Schoenherr on guitar, Aleida Gehrels on viola, Nicole Williams on cello, Shin-Yi Yang on guzheng, and Layton Weedeman on drums.
