FADER PREMIERE
This Gobby video for "Red Seal," co-directed by artist Nic Buffon, traces a narrative of home invasions, disgusting bathrooms, and moonlit city streets, only the action is performed by some pretty ghastly-looking, painted marionettes, and set within a rough-hewn but painstakingly detailed stage set, its representational poverty echoing the poverty of the setting in question. It's the kind of dystopian nightmare that feels even more fitting of the phrase NYC, Hell, 3am than the James Ferraro album by that name, and the scuzzy, circus melody dirge on the soundtrack—complete with the sound of televised crime recaps—doesn't do anything to alleviate our discomfort. "Red Seal," which follows from "Aantezeksyll," is a track from Gobby's forthcoming Wakng Thrst For Seeping Banhee LP, out in late March via Uno NYC.
