New Zealand’s finest The Phoenix Foundation have shared a new video for ‘Bob Lennon John Dylan’, which has premiered on Stereogum. ‘Bob Lennon John Dylan’ is taken from Tom’s Lunch (just gone top 10 in the NZ album charts).

Directors Puck & Paul: “We filmed the band in the Wellington Cable Car tunnel and in our studios in Auckland within a custom-built, sequenceable light tunnel (dubbed the ‘Tron Orca’) to create the swirling light effects you see in the clip. The ‘proto-willy’ and stretchy body effects were achieved using miniature photography and bluescreen compositing.

The video itself is an interconnected series of visual concepts based (admittedly somewhat inexplicably) on “fever” dreams, social anxieties, men’s undergarments, VHS tape decay, paparazzi fatigue and black hole event horizons, as well as Pastafarianism and the Flying Spaghetti Monster (His Noodly Appendages be upon us). No permanent psychological damage has been reported by any of the cast or crew.”

TPF wasted no time moving on to new recordings after the release of 2013’s Fandango. Luke Buda and Sam Scott felt a sense of urgency to get to work with new drummer, Chris O’Connor and to push the band into new directions. Fandango was the end of era, the full stop on the bands journey to find pristine production perfecto land.
