Drunksouls - J’ai fait un rêve

For the “J’ai fait un rêve” video, Drunksouls pulled out all of the visual tricks from their hat. Equal parts collage and motion graphics, the video effortlessly swims from one visual aesthetic to another. Animated cityscapes and wildlife give way to retro images of the quintessential American family from the golden age of TV, huddled around the tube in true 1950′s fashion. From there it morphs into a scrapbook of familiar faces, some more infamous than the others. Mao, Geurva, Stalin, even Washington the dollar bill has a presence. All the while the words “Happy End Of The World” continue to make their way across the screen. Though the song is wistful and soothing, the message of the video is a more dystopian tilt. The brilliance of Drunksouls is their ability to really make an audience think, even if they are able to do so in a relaxing fashion.
