By now I’ve made it very clear that Gunship is pretty much my favorite group in recent memory. Their newly released self-titled album is full of incredibly catchy 80’s-inspired retrosynth and I honestly can’t stop listening to it.
One of my favorite tracks on the album is “Tech Noir”, which is a genre of film but also takes its name from the club featured in Terminator. That track is now a music video that is an absolute must-see and we’re thrilled that it’s out for all of you to see!
Directed by Lee Hardcastle (ABCs of Death, Done In 60 Seconds), the claymation/live-action video is a classic “rescue the damsel in distress” story. However, this time it’s got some serious twists as the protagonist has the ability to change into different pop culture icons by inserting VHS tapes into his chest! By doing this, he becomes Robocop, Rocky, He-Man, and more! Add in the fact that it gets seriously gory and you’ve got a goddamn winner!
Director John Carpenter (Halloween, Prince Of Darkness), who lent his voice for the opening monologue, stated:
Absolutely great video. Claymation 80’s. Coolness. One of my favorite songs of the year. Gunship rules.
Below you can see this video as well snag several hi-res screencaps from the video!
