Canadian noise-pop band Fake Palms released their Pure Mind LP this month via Buzz Records/Pleasence Records. This past August we watched the quartet’s video for “I’m Not There“ featuring a trippy rework of a Spot the Dog adventure. This week the band released a stunning visual treatment for the track “Holograms,” created by the Toronto-based artist Jared Sales, who began his career in the late 90’s performing music under the moniker My Friend The Killer Robot, before getting into stand-up comedy.
Since then, he has worked in media-making creating the production house Mind Control Media. For the “Holograms” video, he animates 3-D humanoid models. His creatures are at once recognizable and alien, and we follow them as they walk and tumble thru constantly shifting environments of hyper-real space and abstractly generated fields of color and light. Psychedelic in its effect, the video pairs well with the bands’ vertigo-inducing psych-pop.
If you live in Canada, you can catch Fake Palms live this coming October in Toronto and Montreal. Don’t miss the dates after the video embed…
