Ulver and AKFF! have decided to launch a new Kickstarter campaign in an effort to finance an animated music video for “Hollywood Babylon.“ That track appears on the band’s latest album “Liminal Animals.”
AKFF! commented:
“Imagine ULVER’s thought-provoking ”Hollywood Babylon” accompanied by a new music video by AKFF!, set in a futuristic world influenced by the theme and aesthetics of movies like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) Nosferatu (1922), Metropolis (1927) and Tron (1982). A very shallow and self indulgent world, not unlike our own time, focused on image, looks and facade, as a striking visual metaphor for the alienation and obsession of modern society.
Taking inspiration from the highly evocative lyrics to the song, the story revolves around a heroine set on restoring her slowly but inevitably fading beauty. She is hard at work, creating a bettered version of herself on the Face Remodeller, an arcade machine that offers convenient means to mold yourself a new face. But the experience goes awry when the model materialises as a grotesque reflection of the heroines shortcomings, a doppelgänger set on replacing her in the real world…”
