A psychedelic vision of Factory-era Manhattan permeates through the extended music video for Blackt Out by Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, made by his old film-school friend Fred Riedel. Filmed at Sonic Youth’s studio in Hoboken, New Jersey, and at gigs in Brooklyn and LA, New York’s experimental past segues through the short, with references to Jonas Mekas and Andy Warhol's short films of the Velvet Underground and their laconic hangers-on.
