New Here We Go Magic Video - "Fangela"

With its spiny dead trees and ghostly heads, Here We Go Magic's video for "Fangela" looks like a black magic trick. It might also look aesthetically familiar considering it was created by Snejina Latev, the New York-based artist/filmmaker who concocted the visuals for Luke Temple & Brooklyn Co.'s first Here We Go Magic single "Tunnelvision." This time we're told she used charcoal animation, super-8 clips, sculptural pieces, various light effects, and stop-motion animation. More importantly, she made good use of "Fangela's" lyrics (eyes, shadows on the wall, etc.) and the band's winsome, weatherworn bedroom prettiness.

The aforementioned "Tunnelvision" in non-Snejina Latev form:

While I really liked this video, I thought they were pretty bad in their opening slot for Grizzly Bear.

BORING band, no melodies, no hooks, just build up, build up build up into nothing...worst opener i've seen all summer
