| Everything Everything's new video for Photoshop Handsome from the album 'Man Alive'. "Our new single Photoshop Handsome looks at the world of digital image manipulation and computer game re-incarnation. What would it feel like to come back to life as one of the 'perfected', false, immortal beings that adorn magazine covers, adverts and games? We took the idea of photoshopping and digital re-imagining of the self to its most extreme conclusion with our new video. We laid out loose guidelines for a huge number of creative digital artists and let them run free with their imaginations, each editing literally only a few seconds of video in total. The result is a very colourful and diverse explosion of ideas, the image of ourselves re-imagined hundreds of times in 3 minutes." Lyrics: I will gain an extra life, when I get the high score. You could respawn anywhere... I am one with the furniture, more inanimate than amateur Like a television set! / Gangrene knuckle announced so audibly! I will boost my attention span; soon my clock will have a minute hand You've become a smithereen! (I'm watching that!) Foxhound frolic on the abattoir floor, up in heaven it's symmetrical oh Airbrush! What have you done with my father? Why does he look like a carving? How do I live in the present? I make my own density? And Ah-Ah-Ah! Who did your Photoshop handsome? You ready for reincarnation? Gotta come back as something organic, Or come back as something else! Just come back as something else ... |
