The Chilean psych band Föllakzoid will release their upcoming LP III via Sacred Bones on March 31st. Today we check out the band’s new video for “Electric,” directed by the group’s guitarist Domingo Garcia-Huidobro and Ion Rakhmatulina. “Electric” finds Föllakzoid in prime form, honing their motorik driven krautrock into a potent sonic weapon.
The video for the track features the Santiago Municipal Theater Ballet, as well as footage of the band playing live, but it abstracts these elements by focusing on the location’s gritty effacing darkness and the venue’s powerful laser show. The resulting images, in stark black and white and caked with with plenty of video noise and stage fog, become a dark and engrossing study in texture and contrast.
Föllakzoid will play the Austin Psych Fest this coming May, as well as these select shows…
