Truth and Life - Clown Core

[@kittentothefaceinc]

The binary in the video translated means: humanity must create art in some form to fulfill its purpose...and people around you need more love than you realize These guys are awesome

[@oscargill423]

Yeah that figures... it fits with the tone of video

[@BigVorst]

It's truth and life.

Kmac! Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone that shit djents.

[@grisgotjunk8992]

Kmac ?

[@allNicksAlreadyTaken]

I don't know if they are *only* doing this as a joke, but this shit is seriously starting to speak to me. It's absurdity and the mix between creepy, funny and legitimately majestic vibes in both imagery and music resonate with some part of me that is starved. I am sure this is just some sort of parody, so I feel like an idiot feeling this is actually one of the most progressive shit I have heard in a while.

[@elip1900]

I think the original clown core stuff from way back was just two bored and talented musicians making a gag band but this new stuff is pretty complex in comparison. Lots of other bands get by doing weird stuff like this

[@cantedanglemedia7557]

Eli Parsons Mr. Bungle didn't come off as simplistic at all, and their catalogue shows how complex Patton's ideas were, in my opinion.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Secret Chiefs 3 too, which was basically Mr. Bungle sans Patton, although there (after the first album) I think Trey may have been legitimately trying to make a religious statement

[@cantedanglemedia7557]

Fuchsia 'tude hell yeah, boys. I'll check Secret Chiefs

[@northlanedarko771]

I feel you

[@yellowequals77]

I think the world is ready for Clown Core

[@GrandMasterEmizo]

Lets hope.

[@caleguenther8947]

Clown core with more clowns...

[@hippylegs]

Binary says: humanity must create art in some form to fulfill its purpose and people around you need more love than you realize

[@MrArmoredSoul]

that is... oddly poignant. im gonna go rethink my life choices for a second, be right back

Shit son the people around me do need more love.

my highest respect to this composition

[@swingAE86]

I feel bad for those who are afraid of clowns because they're missing out

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

they experience these videos as they are intended, if they enjoy the music, it is the ultimate juxtaposition.

[@PokeWeekly]

Honestly fucking terrified of clowns but i cannot stop watching these videos

[@lostuser1094]

There was a, now deleted, compliation on youtube called something like "The Random Life" waaaayyy back in 2008 that was comprised of a bunch of surreal Gifs that had been lifted from Something Awful and set to the weirdest music I've ever heard. For the first time in ten years... I've got the feeling it gave me.

[@CoffeeWaffee]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXe1kpamjtlofJI You sure it wasn't this?

[@lostuser1094]

Nope but it was defintely in that vein! I remeber there was a "Night at the Roxbury" gif where all the actor's faces were replaced with Morgan Freeman. Typical mid to late noughties internet humor.

[@lostuser1094]

Apologies for not being more specific, I would have been about eleven or twelve when I first saw it.

[@biljartball]

I feel so confused after watching that video... W-what did I look at and listen to?

[@sip__]

Do you have a link to that video

[@claudevieaul1465]

If you just close your eyes it's nothing short of an absolute masterclass in jazz. If you don't close your eyes you're basically f@cked for life. Both options are fine.

[@caffeineadvocate]

I like that Clown Core doesn't use any gimmicks. It's refreshing.

[@tingtang9302]

wut

[@urmumsbaps]

STupid moron, they use instruments to make music thats the biggest gimmick I ever seent

[@StupidRawblocksGamrr]

What do you mean by gimmicks?

[@jehoshaphattremainsk.s.c9796]

like high-low mix ups and staggered assist calles

[@samsonmcgloughlin]

Well the porta potty is technically a gimmick. But holy fuck is it original

This is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard and I wish more people listened to this cataclysmic art.

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

This video really helped me to better understand my childhood. Thanks, Clown Core. You saved my life.

[@oceanmachine1906]

Great surprise to see you here Anthony bro :) These guys are like Naked City, Mr Bungle, Meshugah, Napalm Death, Zappa and Death Grips all rolled into one duo

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

OceanMachine haha can’t keep me from weird music!

[@zeedon]

It's nice to see them finally experimenting. Breaking away from their more mainstream music.

[@DafterHindi]

When were they mainstream

[@DruNature]

mainstream of pee or cum i cannot tell, but yes i agree... or it could be blood?

[@PaulOrtiz]

Seriously this goes harder than like 99% of actual metal songs. Can't get enough of this track.

[@IwoIwanov]

Against all commonplaces. Boldly venturing out, where no idiom exists. - Thanks for this.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

And yet they have a million influences woven into the rich tapestry that is two clowns jamming in a portapotty. But you’re right. You can’t even call this “anti-music”. It’s too danceable to pigeonhole into any experimental genre.

[@GothicOctopus]

“Out of all the songs out there, this is certainly one of them.” Will forever be my favourite description of clowncore. What a phenomenal band.

[@devwarbeats]

Okay I'm sold that Louis Cole is behind this.

[@kirayoshikage4216]

Jo Devwar Vesely it is

[@devwarbeats]

I'm convinced, but no confirmation.

This video came out on my birthday, I'd like to believe that it represents everything that I stand for and all that has ever been. It is my flaws, faults, my inner struggles. It is my bliss, my release, my everlasting strive to reach a Utopia inside my own mind. Thank you for the birthday present Clownq0re

[@singinglawnchair]

clown core speaks to my soul. thank you for existing.

[@uriahedwards]

Imagine waking up from a coma after 15 years... You’re thrust from the hospital to assimilate to a new life. A new culture. You turn on the radio to hear that one thing hasn’t changed. Annoying, deep voiced men shouting the station name at you. “WCOK BRINGING YOU THE BEST HITS OF 2033!” The transition sound plays, and from the silence that follows... this song plays.

[@bumblebrutus]

Can I get an internship

[@pr0v0cative4pple]

Honestly the best saxophone melody I've ever heard, the synth accompaniment fits it to a tee too. Also the myriad ways in which they die inside the port-o-potty had me in fucking stitches.

[@dylan10182000]

Holy damn, their editing is getting better and better.

[@UkuleleAversion]

0:50 onward is the best thing ever. Wish they did longer tracks.

[@101rockfreak]

Wonderful!! Very jaz like and experimental. I heard heavy groups with sax before and NEVER sounded like it fit. This fits and melds so well!

[@snavosnavo7994]

The best record ever in the universe.

[@ZeroLoveTennis]

I think humans evolved to have some kind of reward mechanism attached to the idea of finding meaning or purpose in things. The interesting thing about art is that it is developed in such a way that the creator and the consumer both find different meanings but the fact they find it is what gives it the meaning. It's the same mechanism that allows for someone to see things in clouds and ink blots or the message in a poem or song. Specifically that feeling once you see whatever it is that you see, not just the ability to see things but the reward system attached to that process. The conclusions discovered can vary widely but the journey each person goes through is what makes the whole experience rewarding and personal/meaningful. I think art plays on this system we have developed for survivalistic reasons but we've found some alternative ways to resonate with that.

[@Pods0]

This is exactly what it feels like when you have the spins

[@SarcasmForDummies]

Now this would really be something to play as a backdrop during a wedding ceremony. The expressions on the guests faces would be priceless and if anyone has anything negative to say simply state in a condescending voice that they just don't understand art.

[@kutsumiru]

this is actually incredible

[@-Alluvium-]

This would fit so well in a Cowboy Bebop episode...
