death stranding fans are at it again, this time trying to decipher the presumed secret message in lindsay wagner’s necklace which also might’ve been inspired by the quipu method of recording information cause kojima’s an actual madman
Holy shit so I looked the song up and the music video for it was uploaded almost a year ago…
And apparently according to the director, the music video is directly related to the plot and setting of Death Stranding? So there’s been this Death Stranding quazi-trailer just sitting here for a whole damn YEAR before Kojima thought to mention it. And he only mentioned it in a particularly obtuse code.
The Iceland-based band, fronted by Ryan Karazija, has been quietly en route to becoming an indie mainstayer since 2010, but dramatically expanded its reach after being discovered by legendary Japanese video game creator Hideo Kojima in a Reykjavik record store, who then handpicked Low Roar to soundtrack his latest game Death Stranding. Director Dylan Marko Bell revealed it was this backstory that heavily inspired the “Give Me An Answer” video.
“Knowing about the band’s past made me think it would be fun to create a world where certain fans could physically enter the game Death Stranding before it came out,” Marko Bell says. “This opened the door to questions that created the narrative you see in the video. What’s the car that takes you there? Who’s driving? What’s the hotel room number? What does the machine and the transfer process look like? What happens if a contestant doesn’t wait their turn? The genre of the music and the narrative are what excite me creatively and I feel a spark inside get ignited when a track like this comes along.”
