Simply a beautiful and poetic track that comes with a brilliantly directed animation!
Yoko Kuno has directed the video for “Airy me”, included in Cuushe‘s debut album “Red Rocket Telepathy” (2009) that has been released on Flau records. The animator has used 3000 individual hand-drawn illustrations to create this incredibly rich and intricate world all around Cuushe’s dream pop song.
Cuushe herself has described the story behind this video to Dazed Digital:
” The prologue is set in the past. In a hospital, a doctor is doing mysterious living-body experiments. A nurse runs to a tree and eats an apple from the tree, but when she opens the apple there is a worm inside. Humans made the apple. This represents the idea that the place is still under the control of the doctor who is carrying out these experiments. In the main part of the animation the patient is being given an injection everyday and when she receives her final dose, her nose turns into a switch. Upon pressing the button, the young girl turns in to a chimera. Even though she may be a chimera, she still has human heart. What’s going to happen to her? This is the main theme of the video. Is it a dream? Is it real? Where am I? Who am I? These are things I think about when I watch this animation”.
Cuushe’s new album “Butterfly Case” will be released on September 23rd by Flau.
