Claymation has always lent itself brilliantly to music videos ("Sledgehammer, "Sober," "Hellbent"), but artist Allison Schulnik has used the art-form to create an absolute masterpiece
The fine folks over at Stereogum have brought to my attention a new video for the Grizzly Bear song "Ready, Able." The Brooklyn band -- already enjoying a fantastic 2009 on the heels of their latest LP Vecaktimest -- have done it again, this time employing artist Allison Schulnik to create a brilliant, surreal claymation piece befitting of the song. The video evokes images of a woodland Fantasia with a Halo-esque spaceship and plastic, green army-men thrown in for good measure. Don't take my word for it, please enjoy the video after the jump.
