Premiere: The Last Skeptik Takes Us On A Hypnotising Trip To The “Suburbs”
Written by SOURCE on January 14, 2022
Producer and rhymer The Last Skeptik is still justifiably riding high from the release of his most recent album, You Don’t Like Me But I’m Still Here, a 14-track collection of existential angst and frustration shot through with bone-dry wit and laid out across rich and thoughtful productions.
Today he returns with a fresh set of visuals for album extract “Suburbs”, a hazy and hypnotising joint about rolling through the ends under a fog of smoke, weighed down by a mix of paranoia, resentment and bad decisions.
As bleak as that all sounds, the trademark humour’s never far away and a big part of that comes from visual artist Khiaotic. Bringing Skeptik’s tale of suburban dread to eye-popping life, the animated video takes us on a comic book adventure as we follow a severed hand on its increasingly bizarre trip from high streets to tabloid headlines and back again.
Hit play on the tripped out video at the top and make sure you check out You Don’t Like Me But I’m Still Here in full below.
