Fredrik - Chrome cavities (video)

A new video from Fredrik, the first official clip from the band's new album "Flora" outside of the excellent full album stream. Details:

Inspired by early motion picture magicians like Stan Brakhage, Harry Smith, Isidore Isou and Viking Eggeling, it features an abstract take on Palm Shadowplay using "a vintage British overhead projector, an off-white canvas, scissors, paper, 8 hands and a fishtank full of flammable liquids". The colorations are natural and come from the way the lens refracts light at various distances, much like a prism. The effect has been "accentuated and slightly colour-corrected to fit the overall style".

"Flora" also got a decent review at Pitchfork today: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15388-flora/
