Ty Segall shares 14-minute Emotional Mugger film inspired by David Cronenburg and Terry Gilliam
Ty Segall has shared a new (very gory, very surreal) 14-minute film for his recent album Emotional Mugger.
Matt Yoka directed the Emotional Mugger vid, which features a mash up of the record's tracks from producer F. Bermudez.
Speaking to Indiewire, Yoka says:
"The Mugger video is a reflection on Los Angeles (and in general, urban plight and anxiety). Ty and I are big fans of practical/in-camera gore and effects, so this was an opportunity to experiment with those traditions. It's just important for me to use those effects as commentary (in the vein of Terry Gilliam and David Cronenberg). One thing I think is cool about the video, is that Ty and (the album's producer) F. Bermudez remixed the album specifically for the video... unlike most music videos, when you watch Emotional Mugger you are getting to hear different versions/interpretations of the music - so watching this video is not really about hearing music from the album as it's getting another experience from the Emotional Mugger dimension."
Segall's latest record is out now on Drag City.
