Grizzly Bear’s Ready, Able: A Haunting Surreal Mix of Sadness and Otherworldly Beauty

Image...
Grizzly Bear’s new album “Veckatimst” has given birth to another aesthetically appealing video. Artist Allison Schulnik has created a mesmerizing smeary rainbow-dripped claymation landscape for “Ready, Able.” It’s a hauntingly surreal mix of sadness, repulsion and a kind of otherworldly beauty. Why is that one blob thing melting? Why are those faces turning inside out? And why do I get so depressed watching all of it?

This piece includes colorful illustrations, as well as the surreal music video, “Ready, Able.”

Please visit my website to view the illustrations and this very strange music video:
