Purple Barreling Official Video

posted June 3, 2021 #

I can't begin to express my excitement for unveiling this new Cody Uhler video for "Purple Barrelling." A few months back, we hit up Director & Animator Mike Kluge (aka MKAV) about making a piece for the song. We were fortunate enough to have recording artist Glume contribute some dancing footage and Kluge went to work. The results are astounding.

The track comes from an album called Darbo's Island, which is meant to be the soundtrack to a Super Nintendo videogame that never existed. It is inspired by the restrictions and patterns of old SNES music but, ultimately, it goes for a much more modern take. The "Purple Barreling" video follows that same line of thinking - it's a nod to 90's nostalgia but it's modernized in every way.

I've been fortunate enough to watch this thing more times than I can count already and I hope you'll do the same. It's just mesmerizing.
