Bibio - Pretentious

Ahoy, fair internet travelers.

Bibio is an English producer whose last album, 2009's Ambivalence Avenue, was a revelation of sound. Genre-hopping between Boards of Canada style electronic beats, funk rock, and head banger jams - Bibio's music is consistently compelling. His new album, Mind Bokeh, is a bit darker and shapeless than his 2009 success, but there are a lot of great tracks on it like "Pretentious" (featured below). This is a fan made video for the song, but I think I've listened to it 20 times in the past day alone. Rock yo head, son.

At the Opera

May I have a small investment of your time, perchance? This is a very short film by a group of Argentinian animators. I love animation, and my favorite part about this is how every character has a very unique & specific design (unlike a lot of animation today which is very shapeless). The film is a quick setup with a small payoff, but it's pretty fun bit of absurdism.

You can check out the filmmaker's other work here.
