This week’s Music Video Monday features a track from Memphis experimental hip hop artist Arella Rocket.
“Cosmophobia”‘ opens with a beat that is laid back, but still insistent, that gradually erodes as the song progresses towards an unexpected climax. Rocket directed the video, which was shot and edited by Michael Norris. They make extensive use of layered images, incorporating both renaissance art and clips from classic film with shots of Rocket illuminated by a projector in a delicate balance of light and shadow. The song appears on Rocket’s new “dream hop” album Girls And Goddesses.
