Cambridgeshire-based trio The Baby Seals have released their new single ‘Vibrator‘ and its accompanying video. The track is taken from their forthcoming debut album Chaos which is set for release on 19 April via Trapped Animals. What a blast of a track, which of course builds as it progresses! ‘Vibrator‘ is all about self-pleasure, and the video has a style of its own with an almost animation-like transformation of the band members. It’s all great fun and has a retro style about it, purposefully a little rough around the edges, adding to the overall vibe.
Lead singer and guitarist Kerry Devine shares the following on the video:
“I dance around my bedroom a lot – it’s a pretty good thing to do, (do it as much as you can) and with a small budget and limited time (my 2 year old was taken out for the afternoon so we had a couple of hours to play with) I thought us twatting around the bedroom would be a good setting for Vibrator. Liam did wonders with the video and really got it where we wanted it”
On the special effects from Liam Goodrum-Bell of another of the labels artists, Tape Runs Out;
“When thinking about what style the video should be in, I kept coming back to an idea of ‘electricity’ to get that buzzing concept over without being too literal with the lyrics. The song also has an invigoratingly grimy atmosphere, so I wanted to make a video that had a trashy, b-movie feel to it. The words are trembling and the figures have a flickering style, both of which were done to help accentuate the sense of electricity coursing through everything. I used footage from old educational videos about electronic oscillators to help with the retro element, I made it look like it was shot on VHS for the icing”
