Through music and visuals, Youth Lagoon imparts the surreal without the pretentiousness of fine art. The music video for "Mute" captures the innocent, fantastical quality, reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxed assemblages with an intimate slice of Space Odyssey. Directed by Tyler T. Williams, who impressed us with the epic nostalgia treatment for "Montana", "Mute" follows a skateboarder through a house full of bizarreries, aided by red curtains motif of Twin Peaks.
"Mute" from Wondrous Bughouse out now on Fat Possum Records.
