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

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

[@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

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

[@tingtang9302]

[@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

[@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

[@SignalsMusicStudio]

my highest respect to this composition

[@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.

[@PaulOrtiz]

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

[@cablevamp3163]

The drummers timing skills are insane

[@DaedricThot]

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

[@zeedon]

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

i showed this video to my sister and she told me 'this video was like if they brainstormed ideas for a music video and decided to use all of the ideas'

[@LC-yo3bj]

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

[@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.

[@DanimationMovies]

I love these guys. also their aesthetic reminds me of old school youtube which is comforting

[@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.

[@jeffhotes2673]

Finally, a good ring-tone for my important calls.

[@NoThankYouThough]

I like how you can just pick notes and find a path to them and go wherever you want. You have no idea how much that is important. (Yes do you)

[@seanhornibrook]

This is actually the most musically inspiring thing I have heard in years. If you don't mind, I'm going to go play with my synths now. Thank you.

[@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.

[@singinglawnchair]

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

[@Burt_Cokaine]

All my teeth fell out of my head while listening to this. I always wanted to be able to give myself a velvetine head job anyway, so congratulations!!

[@alphabrakovo9122]

There are no words to describe how amazing these guys' art really is

[@Pods0]

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

[@6URU]

Finally, something I can understand.

[@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.

[@ghorsameth]

Congratulations, you have reached Cyriak-levels of WTF-ery!

[@willluck7662]

oh my god I forgot so long ago, and tried to remember so many times. I can't quite say thank you but actually thank you.

[@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.

[@capedmarauder]

If I had to describe this in jazz terms, it's like "The Still-Birth of the Cool"....

0:00 - 0:25 the frantic life of a common lizard we scurry in the dirt and leaves living the everyday struggle to survive, eating, fighting, shitting, fucking, trying to avoid becoming prey 0:26 - 0:28 some person comes along smoking a joint and spots the lizard, frozen in a bid to avoid being seen 0:28 - 0:31 the person blows a cloud over the lizard 0:31 - 0:32 zoom to the lizard's eye as some sort of new realization makes itself apparent to the lizard's simple brain 0:32 - 0:37 the lizard thinks new thoughts it didn't know it could have 0:38 a new fresh breath for the lizard 0:39 - 0:44 it blinks... the thoughts flood in until 0:48 - 2:02 epiphany! The lizard runs around with an entirely new perspective on its world and what surrounds it. It notices things the way it never did before. Things beyond itself and it's survival are all around. Its world is magical and interesting now, the water drops falling, a lady bug flying, pollen in the winds, the amazement of the lizard's world beyond just survival is absorbed as the lizard runs around observing the world its newly learned to learn about. 2:02 the realization that it is only a fragile lizard in a garden where its life is a daily struggle for survival becomes more and more looming as it realizes despite any enlightenment or epiphany it must... 2:08 SURVIVE! a repeat of the first sequence with the lizard running from place to place to eat, fight, fuck, and shit, avoiding becoming prey, regardless of any grand realizations, it is caught in the trap of its surroundings, with its newfound awareness the lizard even more conscious of the struggle it is caught within. We see this play out until the final beep upon which the lizard is snatched up by a bird.
