I'm not sure what to say about this, it was inspired by the song of the exact name. There's no fancy literary undertones with this, just something pure, fresh and almost wild.

This is such a beautiful piece, MukeiRoyalty!
I ran across this after Metaphorest used it as the cover art for her version of Electric Loss, and I just can't get the idea out of my head that the two should come together in a sort of trippy, flat, colorful, abstract animated music video.
Perhaps we cut down a "radio-edit" of the song, and then start producing a few more works in this style as "key-frames" for key parts of the song. Then we could get the layered vector artwork into the hands of some of our wicked After Effects animators to bring it all to life?
Stylistically, I think it'd be cool to keep the whole thing relentlessly "flat" — so opposite to the paper-cut-out diorama style we often use around her. Just morphing and sliding blocks of abstract color and shape.
The song has a strong vibe of repetitive forward momentum to me — which I visualize as driving around a city late at night. Just a thought, but maybe there is some sort of abstract vehicle-like protagonist that takes us through the song, as it moves through various night-time neon spaces?
Perhaps we could also do some sort of thing with flashy "Enter The Void" style typography for some of the lyrics — almost appearing as billboards or flashing neon signs within the abstract city?
I don't know — just a few thoughts about where we might want to go, and how I think we could get started.
