‘If two people dream the same dream it ceases to be an illusion.’ -PKD
This video and song might be a good case of that statement. Utilizing the chroma neon t.v. frequencies of the fantastic vid art duo of Vidkidz with their VCR drowning along the beach and analog video mixer driving down the roads of the NES videogame world of Rad Racer; base this high up in a mountain of Colorado and ear churned by the static electricity dripping dub pop of Austin TX based v^v. We have a flavor of ocean drifting, dreaming state of time and space casually reserved in a quiet place among the under-stasis of listening groups for new worlds. File under: Psychedelic awesomeness on the edge of sleep and wild energy. Warning: Does endorse the consumption of LSD and driving a car into another dimension.
You can download v^v’s Orgone Tones on Bandcamp. And here’s a stream of the album, just because

We’re excited to set our eyes on a new video from Pleiadian duo of OS OVNI and their stalwart visual collaborators, VIDKIDZ. This is the third time the talents of both pairs have coalesced in music video form, the first being 2010′s “Something in the Sky” and the second last year’s nano science fiction epic “In the Night.” In the course of their wanderings over the past year, OS OVNI’s sound has been exposed to negatively charged radiation. As a result, Logan and Omebi‘s signature abstract take on call and response vocals and micro-oscillations have recrystallized into the manically chromatic configuration of “Holographic Dreams,” which at times could be mistaken for a highly weaponized version of recent tourmate Silver Apples‘ archetypal audio explorations. Take a moment to adjust the YouTube player to 720p and let the VIDKIDZ use their LZX video synthesizers and good old fashioned psychedelic know-how knock your brain around every which way.
Look for a split 12-inch from OS OVNI and Blue on Blue May 28th from the UK’s Robot Elephant Records
