David Lindmer ft Johanson 'Omen' by DRUST

David Knight - 2nd Sept 2021

A compelling tale of transgression and obsession for DJ-producer David Lindmer by DRUST - aka Tristan Hefele.

It begins with a young man aiming to confront a couple in a club - and then spinning back to his past, as a troubled kid and psychiatric patient who falls for his doctor, who cannot resist her urge to reciprocate. A steamy affair begins...

DRUST's skilled direction of the sex and drug-fuelled narrative, and his excellent lead actors, sets the tone for the climax of the video, when the young man confronts the doctor and her partner. By this point, anything is possible and something unexpected certainly happens.

"The starting point for the Omen video was to explore the theme of ‘doomed relationships’ and witness the nuanced moments where things take a wrong turn," explains Tristan Hefele, aka DRUST.

"Bringing emotion to the forefront of the viewers’ experience was key to the storytelling and a big part of the reason why the track was so great to work on.

"David was a fantastic artist to engage with because of his openness to the collaborative effort of the whole piece. Early on we decided that the images shouldn’t feel like they’d just been tacked onto the track, but that there should be a reciprocal process, where the pictures enhance the music and vice versa. The feeling of both being fully bedded together was of primary importance to us."
