Inspirational Video

Hey there - here's a new music video from Psapp. It's a bit gory, but fabulous. I hope you enjoy!

Psapp - The Monster Song


Here's their information about the piece:
Description: The Monster Song is our brand new single, released on November 3rd in the UK and Europe. It is the first single taken from our forthcoming album, The Camel’s Back, released through Domino in the UK on October 27th.

We worked with Stephen Irwin (http://www.smalltimeinc.com/home.htm) for this animation who kindly and skilfully turned our scribbles into moving images. Be warned, it’s our most violent video to date with LOTS of blood, gore, dancing teeth, fishcakes and exploding mammals.

Here’s the press release bit:
The Monster Song is a sad song about loss and depression; it’s the morning after the big night before, when the green eyed monster is lurking around every corner, just waiting to pounce. Despite its dark and uneasy lyrical content, The Monster Song has an uplifting and playful pop edge due to Psapp’s trademark use of found sounds and Galia’s harmonising vocals. The Monster Song is a taste of what to expect from The Camel’s Back, Psapp’s most starkly beautiful record to date.

Term 2!!!

So term 2 has started - my mentor is Matthew Russell - amazing animator! I really enjoy my classmates so far too.

This semester is working on Body Mechanics - like weight shifting, pushing, pulling, jumping, etc. I'm so excited about what's to come.
