Today we have a really cute music video!

Bomb the Bass is the band that created the song featuring Fujiya and Miyagi.
Bomb the Bass is a dated (formed in 1987) british duo coming from London and over the years their style has involved till now, that has been classed as electronic or dance.
The name of the band was an idea of Tim Simenon, the band frontman: “samples were either scratched in live or sampled and looped on top of the rhythm section. So the concept was one of bombing the bass line with different ideas, with a collage of sounds. Bombing was a graffiti term for writing, like people would ‘bomb’ trains or whatever“.
The song comes from the 2008 album Future Chaos and as many of the previous albums it was a collaborative one. In this case Fujiya and Miyagi, another british band coming from Brighton (we already met them in this video review!).
The result of this collaboration was Butterfingers, described from Daily Music Guide as showing “the new Bomb the Bass plug straight into a place where scuffed Formica is sexier than leather, and red LED is the font of all knowledge. Having worked through all those zeroes and ones only to come up wanting, Bomb the Bass have seemingly gone back to come forwards once again, with the result being a track that easily lives up to the sum of its parts“.

But let’s talk about the videoclip: it was directed by Perish Factory, a studio specialized in motion design and tv branding and based in London (pure british collaboration uh?!).
It’s a handmade synthesizer where each button is a puppet: we’re watching a stop motion video.
Everything is alive: each button has it’s on function and act with different facial expression.

Do you still think you don’t need an alive synth?
