King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – The River and Cellophane
13 JunKing Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, are an Australian neo-psychedelia band who also dabbles with some surf music elements, kraut-rock, psychedelic folk and heavy metal. The music reminded me a bit of the Grateful Dead mixed with some Can, Led Zeppelin and Buffalo Springfield. Well worth the listen, and nice music clips too.
The Tale of Hillbelly – Encyclopedia Pictura
10 JunA limber backwoods yogi treks through a hilly landscape of evergreens while a cute little fox has a gutsy adventure. I have never seen anything that looks like this video. The combination of live-action costumes, fairytale backgrounds, experimental puppetry and sweet practical effects creates a familiar yet creepy world. Encyclopedia Pictura is the studio that brought us Panda Bear’s lush and psychedelic “Boys Latin” video. There’s an interview with the creators Daren Rabinovitch, Isaiah Saxon and Sean Hellfritsch talking about the process of making this labor of love in Juxtapose Magazine.

The Summoning of the Skylark & Harmony 3- Cool 3d World (Brian Tessler and Jon Baken)
27 MayI LOVE weird, glitchy wrong CG character animation. It’s an antidote to the plethora of boring, ugly ditsy CG characters that rudely infiltrate our media streams. The mysterious Cool 3d World, Brian Tessler and Jon Baken, are making me very happy right now. Their Website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels are brimming with beautiful trippy weirdness. The website hosts a bunch of hilarious looping Vine shorts featuring hybrid animal-machine-human-alien characters stretching and growing into melty deformations. The artists are really good at creating a world you care about while using strange mechanisms like a mechanical snake-man slithering across the frame attached to an alien’s umbilical cord or a cute puppy-boy jumping into a woman’s arms and distorting her head with its elongated tongue. Here are a couple of short videos. Cool 3d World does all music and animation.
