Babe Rainbow
Skull4brains strikes again!
This time close to home, with a musician from Vancouver, BC, just up the road. Ben and I were sitting in my living room watching these videos with our mouthes agape. We looked like total mouth-breathers.
Haunting, cinematic, northwestern. Bonus: brilliantly filmed sequences.
Popcommon audio clip:
Shaved full video:
The Shaved video incites so much memory from my last 27 years spent in the northwest! It captures the creep, the dank, and pretty much what most rocks and trees look like outside of the urban environment here. I can practically smell it. The cave scene not so much. After watching the vid I now know why Skull4Brains tagged it as “the trees got even.” Oh tragic humor, you are so sweet.
Great work, Babe Rainbow!
From Stereogum:
Vancouver’s Cameron Reed, aka Babe Rainbow, builds eerie, bump-in-the-night electronic landscapes he files under “surf-step.” The compositions are chilly and atmospheric, but maintain momentum despite the fractures: Think SALEM, Norwegian hypnotist SVARTE GREINER, a disembodied Fever Ray/Knife.
