Cones — the LA duo of brothers vocalist/guitarist Jonathan and keyboardist/producer Michael Rosen — shared their new single “Back In The Brain” today via an animated video created by Jonathan using hand-drawn animations and oil projections. Jonathan, who has previously made music videos for Toro Y Moi, Eleanor Friedberger, and Delicate Steve, says of “Back In The Brain”:
“A friend of mine once described living alone as a sensation of being constantly inside of your own brain – your house is your head. After a while I realized I would often think the phrase ‘back in the brain’ upon returning home from being out, so we turned it into a song. It’s my ode to solitude. The animation, drawn and colored by hand, brings this idea to life. Through the eyes of Bob the Hippie – an extremely groovy dude who lives inside of a lava lamp – we witness the magical confusion of seclusion.”
