Rubber Oh, the new band put together by Sam Grant from Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs release their debut album 'Strange Craft' on 3rd June.
The band have just revealed the latest single taken from the album, the psych-pop of 'Hyperdrive Fantasy' – watch the 'interstellar' band made video above.
Sam said this about the track and video:
"Hyperdrive Fantasy is a song about a daydreamer. Life has them bound to their sofa, but their imagination takes them on cosmic journeys, across solar systems and galaxies, and to the farthest reaches away from their existential self."
"The video is a play on that imagination, with overtly unreal models and scenery, centered around the rocket that journeys into the depths of space. It's in no hurry, has no destination, but just floats through the cosmos in an imagined, blissful escapism. We made the video using 10 meters of black paper, painted it, wrapped it around two poster tubes, and stuck on a motor to turn it like a treadmill. Then, using our Blue Peter skills we modelled our toilet roll tubes and went into space..."
