A cute alien in search of light lands on Earth in hopes of building a faraway sun in musician Sam Prekop's adorable new video "The Silhouettes."
Animated by Jordan Kim – who's crafted cartoons for kids in shows like Yo Gabba Gabba! and non-kids in Adult Swim's Tom Goes to the Mayor – the video for Prekop's single "The Silhouettes" serves up an ambient soundscape. Screen the clip (embedded above) and feel those interstellar warm fuzzies replicate.
The single comes from Prekop's latest solo effort Old Punch Card, a head-trip exploration made up mostly of modular synthesizers and released by respected left-field label Thrill Jockey in September. Since then, Prekop has been hard at work on the ninth album for his jazztronic band The Sea and Cake, due next year.
