I absolutely love the new animated video which accompanies Andrew Bird‘s song Eyeoneye, which is the first single from his album Break it Yourself, released on Bella Union earlier this year.
The handcrafted feel of this utterly captivating video was achieved using fabric textures, including fuzzy felt and what looks suspiciously like a nice rug, over which digital effects contribute fireworks and spinning planets. It was made by director Yu “Ewan” Morita as the first overseas project from Japanese studio Naked Inc, and reflects on lyrics which dwell on our interconnectedness. We need to open up our souls for we are all one! Fittingly enough the video was premiered on Etsy. Read more about how it was made here and feast on some stills grabs below.
To coincide with his summer UK tour, Andrew Bird will release a special EP Give It Away on Monday 18th July. He is playing a series of dates through June, and a special Roundhouse performance in November.
