Legendary LA band Eleven (Alain Johannes, the late Natasha Shneider, and drummer Jack Irons (RHCP, Pearl Jam) have released a special two-fold vinyl edition of their last studio-recorded album, Howling Book , to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Wanting to "create something really special" and not having any videos since the early 90s, Johannes says he tapped longtime friend and colleague, acclaimed filmmaker ( Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny , Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, No Doubt videos) and musician himself ("United States of Whatever " ) Liam Lynch to create one of his masterpieces for a song on the album, which he let Lynch choose.
His pick is "No, I Know," and he's crafted a poignant, powerful, spiritual, and philosophical visual depiction of this beautiful piece of music that's only accentuated by Natasha Shneider's hauntingly beautiful, make you want to cry at the drop of a hat voice that's singing it.
Johannes says he is overwhelmed by Lynch's piece of art.
"I was so curious, and he basically personified the song visually, as I could never have imagined...there's such incredible, intense, heavy beauty in the end result.
You can also sense him as the filmmaker and protagonist." The video premieres here https://youtu.be/njdt-CgCg-A?si=YT7IevxLMKdPXt6j on January 11, 2024, at 11:11 am PST, the exact time of Natasha's passing in 2008.
