Chennai grunge act Null Friction released their debut album Madras earlier this year, then made it available as a free download on that Gimmesound thing. The Silverchair inspired, alt-grunge trio now have a stop-motion video for the title song of the album.
‘Madras’ is one of the highlights of the record; a moody turn from the band’s usual angsty self. The video, directed by Vasundhara Shankari, is comprised of 800 photographs put together in an interesting stop-motion concept that features the band and shots of their home city. It’s one of the better videos we’ve seen from an Indian band this year (but nothing like the best).
Here’s ‘Madras’.

Soothing video, and music.
Very nice. I saw Null Friction way back in 2007 when I was in Chennai, and I was mighty impressed by this bunch of kids who had a sense of humour. Nice and tight for a three-member outfit, and Shreyans is known to use feedback well. If I remember I think I saw him playing with his tongue as well.
Looking forward to some good stuff from these guys.
Indiecision zindabad.
Love,

One of my favourite bands. Sounds like home.
I love THE JHA.
NULL FRICTION IS AMAZING <3
and i am their biggest fan.
only if the singer writes his sister a song,
and makes a music video with pics of them =]
great song, good video, fun band – all songs on their album ‘Madras’ are brilliant. True talent…
love it and love ya’ll.

Compare this with Björk’s “Wanderlust”. What do we have here? An Indian band with Icelandic influences?
