Trendsetter is thrilled to be working with Rise Record’s Gone is Gone again on the horror-filled music video for “Echolocation” off their debut album of the same name. The band’s much-buzzed-about debut album, entered Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart at No. 3. “The video is inspired by Gibsonton, Florida, the famous wintering and retirement home of traveling sideshow carnies,” says vocalist/bassist Troy Sanders. “That’s the backdrop for this cautionary tale about two punks out on an adventure ride. Through a series of events, the mischievous energy they exert returns full circle, eventually leading to their own demise.”

LA-based quartet, Gone Is Gone, was formed by Mike Zarin and At The Drive-In’s Tony Hajjar, who previously collaborated on various film trailer projects for Sencit, Zarin’s music production, licensing and supervision company. Together they’ve put together a wildly diverse sound production resume that includes trailers for the internet-breaking television series “Stranger Things,” Christopher Nolan’s 2010 sci-fi thriller Inception, multi-Emmy winning television series “Game of Thrones” and the Marvel Comics blockbuster film, “X-Men Apocalypse,” to name but a few. They brought in Troy Van Leeuwen, known for his work with Queens of the Stone Age, Failure, A Perfect Circle, Eagles of Death Metal and Sweethead, who in turn, brought in Troy Sanders from multi-Grammy nominees Mastodon. The band’s unique roots are set deep in film, with Zarin explaining “We’re laying the groundwork to do different things. Whether it’s scoring a film, or just creating a tool kit for a filmmaker to use within their film, or an interactive experience. There are a lot of music artists that work with visual artists in a gallery space where they have audio and visuals connected. And we want to bring that with everything we do.”
