Above, the video for Alexander Tucker's new track "His Arm Has Grown Long," from his latest album Dorwytch released this month on Thrill Jockey Records. Tucker's effected guitars, mandolin, and trippy vocals provide a beautifully droning, blissed out soundtrack for this short film starring what appears to be the illegitimate child of Sasquatch and Mr. Snuffleupagus. Video by Elliot Dodd, Alexander Tucker, Jessica Coleman, and Dominic Garwood. (via Further)

The Snowden Principle

  • Voris Klopchick

    Why are those people handling a steaming turd?

  • JonStewartMill

    All it needs is Joel and the ‘bots at the bottom of the screen. I like the music though.

    effected? or affected?

    effective?

    • David Pescovitz

      Yeah, yeah. But in this context I think that it’s OK to take a bit of poetic license and use “effected” because I’m talking about the class of devices called guitar effects.

  • millie fink

    Ah! I was just wondering, got it, thanks, that IS kinda poetic! I’m liking it (and the viddie).
