Adventure Time
10 FebAdventure Time is one of the most hilarious and trippy shows ever to appear on American television. This is episode 1b from season 1, “Trouble in Lumpy Space.”
Cocorosie- By Your Side
10 FebI’ve posted before cocorosie videos, and I’ll probably have to post some more in the future. Their music, lyrics and videos are always interesting and psychedelic.
Untitled // Ultimaya
8 Feb
A new excerpt of a work in progress by Nataraj (Ultimaya) drawings put into colored video animation !
Matthew Dear vs. Morgan Beringer
7 FebMorgan Beringer visualizes the music of Matthew Dear with amazing results. Apparently shots of liquid were mixed/layered with themselves and other footage using masks. Even the emboss filter effect works in this, it’s like liquid frost on a surface.
Keshet Ve Anan
6 FebI used to watch this TV show as a kid. Bizzare show about an artist whose life revolves around the Jewish holidays, and who makes statues who become a live whenever he leaves his home, commanded by his talking parrot – or something like that. Now, years later, it kinda’ looks psychedelic…
The Sparkling Darkness of “Vessel” by Zola Jesus
5 FebIt is not always easy to tell the difference between psychedelic and surreal. Both aesthetics are obsessed with dreams and surfaces and the dissolving ego, both are very playful. Usually – not always – you will find a lot more light and color in psychedelic art. On the other hand it tends to get closer to the surreal as soon as darker tones are struck.
This is what makes this clip interesting. It is genuinely dark and psychedelic. Until the moth in the final seconds it avoids symbolism and sticks to the sparkling manifold of the surface. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more of this merging of psychedelic and gothic aesthetics in the future.
The Little Girl and the Squid
4 FebI liked the aesthetics and feel of this one, done by Will Chason based on two parts out of a rock opera by his band “The Dutchmen”.
Twentytwohundred by Syntaks
3 Feb
From the video description: “Syntaks’ Jakob Skott created this video for the song “Twentytwohundred” (from his group’s full-length Ylajali), in which the parallels between the Danish artist’s visual and aural sensibilities are on full display. Warm, saturated colors and dreamy, abstract imagery fill the clip with a sense of nostalgic wonder, echoing the music’s romantic mingling of the real and unreal.”
