Congratulations Entity Contemporary Dance!!! This is incredible! Karen, Kent, Angel... wow!!! Love you all and I'm so excited for you!

[@alcevallo4631]

This is the song that made me discover the band a few months ago. I was a few seconds into it on spotify and realized how strange/anxious/powerful it sounded. Im going to see them perform live tonight!!

[@paulagarciallorente]

lucky guy, what was the show like? hopefully i get to see them in june here in spain

This music video is the most residents thing I've seen since the residents

[@JoejoeReference]

This gives the vibes of a video I would have come across as a kid late one night, being unnervingly fascinated by it. And although I'd eventually forget it, it would stick around deep in my subconscious

[@benrey47]

I use this song as motivation to get my sister out of my room. Black MIDI genuinely overwhelms her but I love this video. She gets about 2 minutes in before giving up! Great song! Beautiful video!

[@danielvahnke3369]

What a relief! I've been checking back so often for anything out - even a cat photo, and the lads pull out a Mobile Mona Lisa that makes Ye Olde Sledgehammer look feeble. I know I'm among many that are very happy to see you back. Proceed to board your Mothership and invade the World (especially Phoenix - offer senior discounts please, I can hear the Floyds murmuring already...).

[@brendansnyder8872]

Excellent. The perfect nebulous chunk of Zappa, King Crimson, Saccharine Trust, and Return to Forever with a little later-era Miles Davis on a mushroom safari fever dream in the center of the Great Victoria Desert, with only variously-colored melted otter pops (no water) to drink.

[@recalibrate125]

Good to see Saccharine Trust mentioned although I find BM's music leans more towards the NYC camp than the SST camp (more Contortions than Minutemen)

[@nicolasflamm]

Return to forever and Miles Davis are as close to this as Dolly Parton.

[@brendansnyder8872]

@@nicolasflamm Ahhh my boy, between the tight passages, timely licks and chaotic squeaking, both Miles and Corea’s crew are adequately represented in essence.

[@nicolasflamm]

@@brendansnyder8872 I know people like to make this kind of connections based on pretty much nothing but their own album collection. This does sound proggy. But people here are mentioning so much bands, from Primus to whatever. I just listen it for what it is.

[@brendansnyder8872]

@@nicolasflamm Well I made the connection based on what their maneuvers and motifs reminded me of. Mentioning the bands that I did was accurate for me because a connection was made. Sure I can hear aspects of Primus in there in several places, but Primus didn’t pop into my head. Everything has inklings of something else, doesn’t mean it’s by design. Keep on listenin as you wish

Holy shit I think this might be your best song to date. I'm blown away.

[@mltimmons77]

Absolutely brilliant, both in the choreography, and of course, the music. There is definitely something that is reminding me of Lark's Tongue in Aspic, but almost combined with some Dysrythmia, all while remaining as palatable and groovy as possible for what is being delivered. Bravo!

[@mattharrison9662]

[@rafaelfonsecaaugusto3438]

This video is really something. The syncronicity of the music with the dancing or better yet the somewhat disjointed syncronicity makes this video a must see. Maybe its absurd but makes me think how much the idea for the video was present at the time of parcing out the structure of the song wich in itself never stays still. Amazing feel of disorientation that is interrupted half way to give place to an actually dreadfull section to come right back to this rollercoaster of song
