I'm a huge fan of the weird and wonderful in terms of art and music. So when I read my friend's blog a few months ago, (www.dailyserving.com, a cutting edge contemporary art blog updated daily) to find a claymation film set to Grizzly Bear I was psyched. Titled "Hobo Clown" the first film by Allison Schulnik is set to "Granny Diner" off of one of Friend's. Her use of color, movement, and subject all create a hauntingly beautiful accompaniment to the band's tune, and gave me a new respect for Play-Doh.
It seems as though Grizzly Bear enjoyed the pairing so much that they recruited her to make the official video for one of my favorite tracks off of Veckatimest, "Ready, Able". Full of mutating faces, dramatic lighting, little green jungle men, and even a crystal spaceship, it's even weirder than the first, but inspiring nonetheless. Think what you may, but I think it's bad ass...
