One Temporary Escape is a live video album from New Zealand post-punk revival band The Naked and Famous, recorded on 21 April 2012 at The Warfield in San Francisco, California. It was directed by Jordan Blady, produced by Aaron Short, Jordan Blady and Thom Powers, and executive produced by The Naked and Famous.[1] The video was released on 18 March 2013 as a free download, to thank fans for their support.
Premise
[edit | edit source]The video was created following a constant two-year tour for Passive Me, Aggressive You. Thom Powers, guitarist and vocalist for the ensemble, stated that because large outdoor performances and television concerts often end up on the internet, the best thing to do was to record their own live album and provide it to fans to show gratitude, stating that One Temporary Escape is likely the best presentation of the band's live performance.[2]
