Damn, that title is a mouthful. Basically, MVTH (which when printed on their merch seems to be a to be Delta in place of the V, making it look to be MATH) is a side project of Hyper Crush featuring only Donny and Preston. Why Holly isn't involved, the world may never know. Regardless, they've released their first video for the new single "F*ck".
The main difference between MVTH and Hyper Crush is that there are no vocals. Actually, that is pretty much the only difference. I am betting if they'd had some rapping and singing laid down on top of this beat, it could have passed easily for a HC song. The production values are the same, and the masterminds are present as well. I guess they just wanted another creative outlet for their music.
As far as the video goes, it feels close to a Hyper Crush video, too. I don't mean that because we are seeing Preston and Donny doing their thing, but because many elements of the recent HC videos have leaked over into this release. They are still armed with their hardcore shotguns and they seem to only be able to move in slow motion, much like in the video for "Visions of Coleco." What is different is that this video drops much of the sex appeal, and gives everyone just plain badassery.
"F*ck" doesn't have a clear plot. There are a lot of news clips and flashing imagery spliced into the footage, creating a sense of urgency. Most of the video, the duo is beating the crap out of something, but we never really get a clear shot as to what. For the rest of the time, they are riding around, watching their backs, armed with all sorts of guns. The way it was shot, using a sort of found-footage approach, makes it feel a lot like the Blair Witch movies.
It may not be the best video ever, but the song is catchy, and I love seeing Preston. I'm sure you know this by now.
The track is up on Beatport. Grab it now!
