Avant-garde pop-rock band Drugs recently released their debut album Episodic on Park The Van. Today, they’ve shared a trippy music video for album single “A Twist of The Stomach”, animated by Corey Watson. Set in a kaleidoscopic, hellish universe somewhere between Animal Crossing and The Sims, the dizzying vaporwave visuals and anxious beats encapsulate the feelings of internal conflict and cognitive dissonance that can come with a twist of the stomach.
Video director/animator Corey Watson says, “One day after I took a bong rip and watched Conner O’Malley’s ‘Hudson Yards Video Game’ I got an idea for a music video. ‘What if we did a shot-by-shot remake of Tool’s music video for ‘Sober’ for Drug’s ‘A Twist Of The Stomach’? I have no idea what the hell I am doing in Blender, but here we are! Grab a bong, order a pizza, eat a cereal bowl full of DMT, and get crunchy.”
