Dialect Shares New Single + Video for “Born Through”

“Born Through” is the luminous second single emerging from Atlas of Green, the new album from Dialect, aka Andrew PM Hunt, and a spirited encircling of the album’s new mythic forms, imagined from the fragments of allegorical ruin. Saturated with the light of folk-like elation and a capsule of mechanical warmth, “Born Through” emanates the chimes and winds leading towards a possible new world. As Hunt notes about the album, “This is an alternative future to the one of endless growth but one which still holds space for hopes and dreams.”

“Born Through” is accompanied by a video directed by T Isom and Dialect. “I’ve always liked the idea of cartoons as a carrier signal for the ideas of the day, and perhaps also as a way of squeezing old stories into a more contemporary shape,” says Hunt. “For this video we dug through old archive documentaries about the origins of mankind to find imagery which spoke to our need to understand the world at an empirical level and then superimposed animation from a 1964 film about the World Fair to reflect our desire to dream and reimagine our past.”
