The kids at the slumber party are watching a manic interleaving of images culled from early-2000s anti-drug PSAs, zero-view YouTubes from the platform’s most un-Facebooked corners, found footage of garage emo bands, daytime TV ads from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and abject stock renderings of characters like Shrek and the Joker.
One part send up of consumer electronics, one part lamentation of the negative impact of the internet, and one part explosive collage of animation, found footage, and critical self-reflection. The hybrid sound of Extreme Animals intermingle with a hyperactive meditation on Apple products, rugged individualism, and the disturbing power of networked digital connectedness.
Hardcore hip-hop bagpipe jamms and pixelated party wisdom, including the tracks “Get Out of Your Mind”, “Question of the Ages”, “Gone Green”, and “Your Life/Your Language”. Life is a wilderness, don’t do anything illegal, it’s our time down here!
