The Wave Pictures have dropped a slightly freaky new video for ‘Now I Want To Hoover My Brain Clean’ – check it out below, first on Dork.
The track’s taken from latest album ‘Bamboo Diner in the Rain’, out now via Moshi Moshi, and precedes a couple of live dates – one at London’s XOYO this evening (1st December), and another at Ramsgate Music Hall tomorrow (2nd December).
“The video for ‘Now I Want To Hoover My Brain Clean’ was created solely by Ed Prosser, a young, local, genius filmmaker,” says songwriter and guitarist Dave Tattersall. “The Wave Pictures were just puppets and had no involvement in the making of the video other than following his instructions. Ed Prosser did an absolutely wonderful job.
“This video is proof that the best thing you can do with artists is to stay out of their way. Artists need to have complete control over their work and I believe you should give it to them. Ed Prosser understood the song and understands how to use a camera. These are two things that almost nobody on earth understands.
“On a personal note, I hate all music videos. However, since I am contractually obliged to make them, I would like it if the process was always as easy and pleasant as I found working with Ed Prosser, and if the end result was always this pleasant to look at. Ed Prosser is a visual poet and I admire his work very much.”
