Panda Bear salutes the innate beauty and sweetness of animals with his quirky new video for Buoys, the title track from the Animal Collective members recent solo LP.
The clip stars Beatrice the French Bulldog (who appears as Stella from Modern Family) as she tries to find a forever home on a surreal dating-type show. Beatrice grills the two contestants with barked questions to discover their true personalities and for good measure, she sniffs both their butts.
Dogs see past how many followers we have and how many tickets we sell, director Danny Perez said of the clip in a statement. This allows us to relax, be ourselves and not sweat the small stuff. I wanted to make a video that relayed the themes of the songs lyrics to the confidence and bliss that comes from the relationship with an animal.
Buoys appears on Panda Bears recently issued sixth LP Buoys, which also features the tracks Token and Dolphin. The singer born Noah Lennox recently concluded a U.S. tour and will launch an international run on April 19th in London, England.
