In this video the Belgium band Antilux are pulled around like puppets, only to eventually become choked up in a black widow’s tangle of animated strings. The red yarn that you can see during all the video has been animated through motion graphics (something very common inside the Boya Entertrainment).

Rumor has it that Antilux was born out of a strange nocturnal encounter in the forest. It was in 2010 that these two from Brussels got closer in a context that was so dark and uncertain. Each of them disguised with a thick mask; one would hum as the other pinched strange chords on his guitar. More drawn to each other than being afraid by the strangeness of their confrontation, they’d unite in order to deliver us music where electronic sounds permeate through such influences as blues and rock.

In March 2012 the duo released their first album, “Sleeping Below the Cloud,” on the BOYA Entertainment label. This record is like a walk taken at a cinematographic pace, where the strength of a dark post-dub step meets the ambiance of a dream-like guitar, sustained by redeeming singing.

This track comes from their remarkable upcoming album, Sleeping Below The Cloud, which is out on Boya Entertainment. Fully-formed and seemingly effortless in sound, the record is well worth checking out. You can stream the entire album below the video, and if you’re feeling lazy, I would highly recommend my favorite track, “Rettgun”, as a starting point.
