Ecology: HomeStones is the type of project that’s entirely too difficult to summarize—and one which clearly knows that it’s too difficult to summarize, basking in the confusion their industrial brand of ambient noise and visceral, surreal imagery seems to conjure. The project follows “the dramatization of past and future events concerning the mutilation of eight carrot farmers, all coincidentally named Robert,” per a descriptor meant to help us make sense of it all, yet which knowingly only muddles our perception of it. “The organization behind this fantasy, The FPPC, is on a mission to provide you with the information you need for a fast and enjoyable recovery.”
Well then, we have the mysterious acronymic organization to thank for the upsetting new video for the latest cut from the project’s forthcoming self-titled record. The tension-building “Mothername” comes to life with a two-and-a-half minute clip syncing the soundtrack’s glitched-out horrors with scenes of what looks like a 17th century village (mixed, as promised by their afore-quoted statement of purpose, with contemporary wardrobes) being infiltrated by an undebatably unwelcome presence (is that Nixon?).
See for yourself below, and pre-order Ecology: HomeStones before the record drops this Friday here.
