In Simeon Tennant’s video for Solvent’s single “Loss for Words” (from Subject to Shift, 2010), a pair of romantically entwined shapes watch helplessly as their relationship dissolves. Both the gray square and his fluffy, pink girlfriend seem at a “Loss for Words” as they drift into their respective solitudes. Tennant’s lo-fi computer animation fits perfectly with Solvent’s analog-synth pop melancholy, striking a touching balance between technology and emotion.
