The Mercury Craze

It's been a while since one of these. Norwegian/Japanese motion graphics collective SSSR (Marc Reisberg, Kristian Hammerstad and Yu Sato) certainly cut it when they did this follow up to the videos for Subtle's previous album Wishingbone (Fuck Kelly Osborne). A brilliant display of film snips, drawings as well as 3D animated characters, cynical and dark graphics.

Graduates from St. Martins class of 2004, this animation production trio already packed the award for Best Music Video at the British Animation Awards 2006. Expect to see more of them.

Get your copy of the video on 'The Mercury Craze' enhanced CD single (including a remix by Soft Pink Truth and a collaboration with Wolf Parade called 'Middleclass Haunt').
