The sad story of Chinese sweat shops in an ultra-psychedelic animated clip…
According to Grizzly Bear’s tumblr in the video for “gun-shy” the members of the band are trying to extract the essence of creativity from their bodies. To do that they use a lot of medical lab equipment. This is the occasion for director Kris Moyes to present a slick blend of psychedelic and medical visualizations. This mix might be surprising at first but it also makes a lot of sense. Like deep-sea and outer space in the 19th century, the unknown space of the mind and the microcosm of the human body have been explored, mapped, imagined and visualized (I guess also colonized) since the beginning of the 20th century. In a way all those fantastic worlds take part in the metaphor of the “other space”… and in many ways they all provide excellent material for trippy videos. Look for yourself!

Potpourri of Pearls from Philadelphia, which were already featured here in the past, describe themselves as an Avant-Homo group. “We explore the darkness, humor, weirdness
and sparkle of pop, dance, and soul music. We especially like the musical moment where the shininess wears away a bit and things become a bit raw and delightful.”
Indeed I find their music clips to be strange, surprising and delightful. Check them out.
It’s interesting to see how often psychedelics are mentioned in the hip-hop scene in the past few years. Maybe Saul Williams’s idea of replacing the Ganja bags with shroom bags has reached someone?
Beautiful psychedelic light show in the first single from Clinic’s seventh album.
