← Back | Musician | 6 Music Videos
While you may not have heard of the French Canadian band Corridor, their innovative approaches to music video and cover art production quite literally catapulted them into the spotlight. Known for their ethereal music and psychedelic dream pop sound, the indie quartet unequivocally transformed the way artists use visual imagery in harmony with their music. For instance, their mind-bending music video for their song "Domino" cleverly incorporated the juxtaposition of chaos against the mundane, engaging viewers with a bewildering, yet satisfying loop of singers-turned-action-figures running amok in a typical office setting — an idea conceived after a visit to a local toy store.
An interesting anecdote involved Corridor's music video for "Coup d'épée," which inadvertently popularized the “one-shot” filming technique. Without hiding scene transitions, the single unbroken take added a layer of raw authenticity to the performance, appearing as if everything was happening in real time. Such was the impact of this unique approach that several bands began emulating the method — turning Corridor's idiosyncratic style into an industry norm. Not to mention, their album cover art, which is always beautifully abstract, resembling kaleidoscopic mirages rather than conventional graphic designs, which only piques curiosity about the sonic brilliance that lies within. It's undeniable that Corridor challenged and continues to challenge the creative boundaries of the music industry with their keen eye for aesthetics, talent for storytelling, and unabashed courage to experiment.
