The Baby Seals continue their explosive campaign towards their debut album, Chaos (out April 19) with the grimy genre-bender, ‘Vibrator’; a song that feels like it’s come from a place you always wanted to go to – but could never quite find!
Kerry says: “I dance around my bedroom a lot – it’s a pretty good thing to do, (do it as much as you can) and with a small budget and limited time (my 2 year old was taken out for the afternoon so we had a couple of hours to play with) I thought us twatting around the bedroom would be a good setting for Vibrator. Liam did wonders with the video and really got it where we wanted it”
Special effects from Liam of another of the labels artists, Tape Runs Out; “When thinking about what style the video should be in, I kept coming back to an idea of ‘electricity’ to get that buzzing concept over without being too literal with the lyrics. The song also has an invigoratingly grimy atmosphere, so I wanted to make a video that had a trashy, b-movie feel to it. The words are trembling and the figures have a flickering style, both of which were done to help accentuate the sense of electricity coursing through everything. I used footage from old educational videos about electronic oscillators to help with the retro element, I made it look like it was shot on VHS for the icing.”
