Subtle vs SSSR

The RWC crew have just been browsing through Youtube and re-discovered this trilogy of videos made by animation wizards SSSR; a Norwegian/Japanese animation collective who combine drawings, animated models, cut-up film and 3D computer graphics.

The music is by Subtle and these videos were included on the band's CD/DVD album 'Wishingbone' - Lex Records (LEX030)- a collection of new material, remixes & collaborations with artists such as Beck, Mike Patton and Low.

Subtle members include Doseone who is one of the founding members of Anticon records. The RWC crew discovered the joys of Anticon records about three years ago now and have rinsed the entire back catalogue and all related projects. Subtle albums are released through LEX records, but if you dig this hunt down anything by cLOUDDEAD, Hymie's Basement, Themselves, Doseone, Why?, Deep Puddle Dynamics and 13andGod.

The trilogy tells a story so be sure to watch them all, the video for 'Swan Meat' won best music video at the British Animation Awards 2006.
