Efterklang - Illuminant

[bobmli]

are these drugs or am I still on real?

[jaretthale78]

wow, thank you.

[ciastkomaslane]

1:45 chuck testa ;D

[YoImMagikMan]

As soon as i saw the pink monster baby thing, i was terrified.

[mysticxhobo]

this song is like coming to a deep realization.

[Jivage]

beautiful! nostalgic, can't help but get sentimental

[Vermyl]

@Jivage same here

amazing song, it is full of memories of the past and glimpses of the future

[mogeyyypoke]

omg.. wth is this lmfao!!!!



[xjulciaaa]

Turn off the light, maxmize that, close the door, turn on the speaker to the max and ENJOY! I am so fuckin' scared

[PanavisionLove]

Brilliant video!

[Cezarijus]

MY BRAIN EXPLODED.

[laurapatriciab]

Vaya! Qué video tan increíble. ¡Maravilloso! Gracias.

[atomicprime]

[junknira]

[theholygoes]

Woah! That's amazing!



[theholygoes]

Woah! That's amazing!

[Bonnetryne]

Today, i realized that Tobias Stretch is a genious is abstract art. You should all check out he's homepage! He has some amazing paintings also :)

[McRabbid9]

Why is that baby stuck to its face?

[AeonAway]

I really get chills and stuff from this video i rewatched it quite a lot as well, but i honestly don't get whats it about =[ Could someone explain?

[rrpauldoran]

I am INCREDIBLY happy I'm not on drugs right now.....cause I'm already trippin' out lol

[finedosentmatter]

WHY?!.,.....

[duce1921]

what a beatiful Horrorshow....

[halopunkdud3]

This reminds me of a salvia trip i had once.

[Mandelqirl]

That video somehow scares me. Very nice music, though. :)

[demonhunter505]

I'm not sure what just happened. Yet somehow it's made me feel peaceful.

[RSBlitzwielder]

@demonhunter505

and freaked out.

[musikalfuture]

what the hell just happened.

[ihfppl]

im mind blown and sca... nope just fuckin scared.

[cajetin]

fucking creepy

[speaktheworld]

This is a new category of horror cinema. In order to create such, you must be insanely creative and good at manipulating footage...

[maliciouspleasure]

antigravity000, well shit son. If you don't like it then don't watch it.

[antigravity000]

@maliciouspleasure, It urks me that this is the kind of video the masterful Efterklang would produce. A music video is as much a band's artistic work as the music is and in my opinion, this comes off as a superficial aim at the "indie" psychadelic drug scene or whatever bullocks you want to call it. A propagandous leech attached to a talented host.

[ThePinkPug]

This song makes me want to cry and laugh, scream and be quiet, smile and frown all simultaniously

[jacobeistrup]

spooky video, meget flot lavet, og går lige ind og giver åndenød i mellemgulvet. Ikke videre behageligt, men det er vel heller ikke meningen. dragende og frastødende sammensmeltning

[antigravity000]

What the hell. Efterklang is fantastic as a band, they don't need trippy abstract visuals to dim them down. I like fantasy style vids, but this is so ridden with a stoner perspective that just cries out for attention. This video takes away from the essence of efterklang, no video should be allowed to reduce their talent to psychedelic ambience trash.

[lubos6666]

genius visual language

[xXxGenasai]

this video makes some sense :D i think it has something to do with perspective.

[wordsbackwards]

tobias i love you

[CallieeeKitty]

The two-headed wheelchair guy kissed himself and then just died? What the fuck kind of bullshit is that?

[F00LSG0LD215]

Is this real or am I still on drugs?!

[esproctaf]

すごい

[blackguns11]

song?

[Zeikid]

Creepy..... The music is beautiful.

[TMovieKlip]

Great music for a type of video I've never æayed eyes on before. Quite interesting. Efterklang really expands your horizon...

[Hasfast]

Excellent music... magnificent video. Comments by drug users... damn weird. Although I'm not in the position to either agree or disagree with @nizzle2, and thus I consider it worthy of some thought... I strongly disagree with @TheDelirium's post. Such emotional explosion was uncalled for in the first place, and the words and accusations used were, at the very least, irresponsible. People should really re-think before writing. D.R.

[TheDeIirium]

i totally agree with you there nizzle. In your core you straight people are just Nazis, victims of your absurd preperception, becomin' the scourge of many who are not such a disgrace for the terminus homo sapiens, since what you should do is crouch - considering all the redundant weight you're willing to carry. The weight of foolish opinionatedness, but yeah...sit there with your beer and be proud how straight you are if that makes you happy.

[neurfreiradikale]

wierdest video of all time with the greatest music of all time

[Mcpottsmc]

soo creepy...

[Brionkendo]

I saw them live... it was mind blowing!

[blindriptide]

Amazing! Best I've seen so far.

[guffe333]

Efterklang!

[347UMOM]

det minder mig lidt om metallica. hvis nogen kender dem prøv at søg på nothing else matters og sammenlign! ved ik om det bare er mig eller hvad. godt nummer men foretrækker nu metallica :)

[Musetown]

Muy buen viaje jejeje! Me debraye chido =)

[ANNEBILLE]

omg, thought this vid was a bit creepy (;

[QOQOR0]

don't watch it, obviously.

[TibtheBear]

ina good way

[mtronic]

wow

[sapnatalati]

Mr. Stretch, your work is brilliant, incredible, and amazing.

[cvg1099]

Stanley Kubrick would have been proud of this.

[etellerandetandet]

That ruined this song. Now I cant hear it without getting images in my head.

[unitedprincesses03]

@etellerandetandet you mean goo images! :DD

[radiogreenblue]

check out this acoustic instrumental trio. this particular song is written and performed in slow tempo, 54 bpm! search for "Radium Karmara"

[specialkate00]

the most impressive video i've seen this year.

See you in Sheperd's Bush in 2010!!!

[JackKuchiki]

Gahh.. I think this is why I should never watch music videos

[1blondon]

Very interesting, keeps you watching and wondering

[noisebus]

AWESOME

тыщураз

[specialkate00]

ya tak soglasna!!!

[xAnswerxPhonex]

I like the song but that video is unsettling and not in a particualrily interesting way. It just made me feel bad.

[ibanezbass23]

@xAnswerxPhonex

yea, that was creepy. i may have liked that song if i hadn't watched this vid.

[nutsinthecoco]

brilliant!

[23MP23]

what is this i don't even

[cherybombr]

thts cuz ur dumb

[23MP23]

Please explain to me what happened then, smartass.

[cherybombr]

well the weird faces represent new birth and the 2 headed old man is life and its struggles, the baby and the dog thing is norishment and protectiveity thus the dog helps the old men thru struggles uniting them into one whole entity untill they start a new life

[23MP23]

How could I have been so blind

[cherybombr]

or its a metaphor for the tragedies of 9/11 one or the other

[PharodWormhair]

You are one obnoxious faggot, you know that? HURR HURR the wheat fields represent God's cock and the snow represents teh orgasm that fully explains the big bang theory. When he came his sperm equates to teh planets and his jism is the 118 elements DURR. We are all here because God decided to jack off one day hurr durr

[hirlow]

haha x)

[cherybombr]

calm down i never said any of those things so I dont know wat your talking about

[neonfoxincolour]

wow that was awful. maybe the video doesn't need to have a meaning. i was just listening to the music.

and also there's only really 90 natural elements. the other 28 do not occur in nature and are mankind (and usually only last a second).

the song is amazing and the video is trippy.

[neonfoxincolour]

that was a good interpretation.

[Shatonmedeek]

smoke a bowl and watch this, you won't know whats going on. i am legitimately scared right now.

[joshwuh88]

Pretty sure you don't have to smoke a bowl to be terrified of this..... Take for example, me, right now.

This video is cool... but very creepy.

[Shatonmedeek]

true, haha i have since rewatched it now that i am sober and its still pretty creepy. 0_0

[numsiskit]

That would be illegitimately scared because there is no real cause for concern.

[Shredderoftelecaster]

@Shatonmedeek I am clean and I don't know shit what's going on now. Love it all!

[monksanonymous]

@Shatonmedeek - Why spoil such beauty with drugs. ;-)

[nizzle2]

@monksanonymous Why spoil your mind by not using drugs and never experiencing other mindstates?

I can say without a doubt that by using drugs I have only found more beauty in life and everything. If you smoked a bowl and listened to this song you would be so deep into and appreciate it much more.

I hate how straight edges just dis drugs even though they know nothing about them

[monksanonymous]

@nizzle2 Well it's obviously too late in your case, so i just wish you a lot of fun on your way down. ;-)

[cosmogang]

@Shatonmedeek I don't know what's going on and I'm NOT high.......gee whiz.

[airseeker12]

@Shatonmedeek hit a few buckets of afghan kush oh fuck im set. im sketchin hard right now

[demonhunter505]

@Shatonmedeek I just fuckin' did it... you're right, i have no idea what's going on.

[mysticxhobo]

@Shatonmedeek lol

[chadarmyman5000]

parades is their third album ;-)

[guomengjie]

interesting...

[IndigoCrayon]

This is very interesting stuff. I like it! (:

I just found out about Efterklang.

[satanisback]

not everything has to be understand. Just watch and feel

[ASHORROR]

i dont understand. do i want to?

[diegokmoraes]

one of the best videos i have ever seen, but its depressive... damm efterklang, this is death experience

[TheSarahRah]

this made me very happy

[Nowayout555]

WTF is this shit?

[lozokano]

wat the crap? i fail

[Metal1Food1MS]

WTF IS THIS SHIT?

[JapanMan44]

op is a faggot

[VirideSoryuLangley]

[over9000pens]

[rozAnIfic]

whta was that?

[Monkin4225]

Wtf is this Shit?

[unitedprincesses03]

beautiful

[fuckmeimdead]

if i could use one music video to describe the sum of my dreams and nightmares, that'd be it .

[ForAhoneyBeh]

Very beautiful

[misterpinkwhistle]

This is amazing! I'm very rarely left that speechless. Amazing

[THkaas]

i saw it on deviantart, but i did not now it was a music video...

[thetruthfulliar]

Yes. Genius video.

[mamanjaifaim]

Hey, I was lucky enough to interview the band and to get to film the best of their new songs tuesday night in Montreal. Just write ' Les Oiseaux Exotiques Efterklang ' on google, you'll find it.

[chronoglideskyway2]

how creative!

[DetectiveUtah]

i think its a gift for the senses.

[togetherGreen]

oh...my..god. This is amazing

[SwissShredder]

Genious video.

[RodrigoMera]

this video scares me... i'm some kind of weird video seeker, and i've seen lot's of them... but this one scares me and i don't know why... think is something in the subconcious... something in the primitive brain... those eyes and mouths...

[salisindie]

For some reason this video and song make me feel like I am dead and not alive you know that feeling right?

Great song and video.....

[donutvideo]

this blows my mind and scares me at the same time.

[LonDagget]

@donutvideo i bet if you watched this on cid you'd understand.

[ladywisher]

makes my soul run and flow and dance and sigh deeply.

[e2tpx]

his guy has great work.

[Knightsofwibble]

Oh man, that was so trippy.

[Majase]

Brilliantly unique!

Excellent work dude; I can't imagine how much time and effort went into this.

And to those of you that don't "get" it, you are truly missing out on something.

[exflame09]

I love the music but the video is actually disturbing for me. Can you please try to explain it to me so I don't feel this way. Thanks

[TomventUK]

this is fantastic inspiration, thanks to all involved.

[choketillyoupop]

does anybody else know of other bands like this,maybe if posible with more of a soprano voz singer(like juan son of)?

i like this banda alot!

[kellyselena]

ehm.. sigur ros maybe? theyre an incredible band from iceland, they create fantastic songs that make you so emotional

[damianlushis]

or MUM

[guitarguy93]

Brilliant, I haven't see something this good in a while.

Pure Genius.

[Terezasch]

disgusting, I'm sorry

[ndodsonbe]

wtf, how can someone that think like that end up on Efterklang's video? Are you lost?

[nolifetilleather83]

whom are you referring to?

[ndodsonbe]

"disgusting, I'm sorry"

And of course I meant "wtf how can someone like you end up on an Efterklang's Video? Are you lost?"

I mustve been drunk when I wrote this :D

[subpulse1]

not many can say that they know a genius. im glad to say i grew up with one. great film toby!

[cordova691]

fucking brilliant

[Dithulusutsamotho]

this video is really disturbing...these guys must be friends with bjork!

[piadox]

this song is just beautiful, i love it.

but this video perhaps is too far out there. weird for the sake of being weird...

[NirmalOut]

couldn't agree more.

[Pazzescobf]

i love this...

[jkdeadite]

That was amazing.

[elusiveweirdo]

Beautiful track. I haven't gotten into Efterklang, but this one sounds great. And since the wrong kinda people haven't uploaded this one, I can even favorite it. Yay!

[Hypnot1cGaz3]

Por este tipo de cosas me gusta Efterklang, son tan ellos. Fuera de contextos, un video surrealista para música sin descripción.

[PineAppleFred]

I love this. Out of passion.

Surrealism is kind of what we live in.

I, for one, love surreal art and ideas.

This really reflects a lot of runs through my head.

And it reflects the power of the imagination of one person. It may seem odd and insipid, but it is infact the beautiful creation of a genius.

[Max3851]

Beautiful, funny fresh and sad

[Vahanb]

someone had a bad LSD trip

[Forsythie]

Please what? I also wanna see a pink animal (is it a deer?)and watching it when it takes care of a human being..

[unclejohnthezef]

wtf?

nice, though

[shmike1984]

heard about this at the show last night and they were right, total freakout. good work

[YoungAdam]

This is human existence.

Thank you for reminding me.

[Tla48k]

This video is very surreal, it follows the beat to perfecting.. As the french people call it, Avant-Garde.. The baby-creature is very..........................­...... ?

[MistaButla]

If humans were underwater glowy fish...

[ganjalenny]

This Video is made perfect...damn....

[cidadaovagamundo2]

BOOOOOOOOORING

[squishykitty3]

ok...wow

[rut8888]

Try watching this on shrooms. I dare you. I double dare you =)

[maciaogrinchato]

Vi fate la robba

[brandoomg]

efterklang always makes me feel like i'm atop some lonely glacier during a light snow thousands of miles from anyone.  or like one of those crystal-cave-levels from donkey kong.

[VioletScrap]

It's like watching one of my dreams. Thank you so much

[mrsdarcydepp]

[botchbud]
