Garden of Light

I'm glad someone re-upped this, because it's basically my favorite thing in the world.



I don't know how much the animation has been altered from it's original form to fit the song, so I can't comment extensively, but it's interesting how well it mirror's Isis's general musical structure. Rather than any type of strongly cohesive narrative, it's just images, rising and falling in intensity, but unified by the common theme of the robot. The robot in itself is funny, considering the way in which this album (and song, especially) saw Isis moving away from the somewhat robot-like adherence to time that marked their earlier work.

Also: Aaron Tuner will always be my hero just because he rocks a telecaster.
