It’s VERY hard to believe that Squarepusher’s Come on My Selector was Chris Cunningham’s (Aphex Twin fave) first time as an editor. Razor sharp and tight like a tiger- it’s as cinematic as it is freaky deaky.
What’s also utterly unfathomable, is the concept was dreamt up just days before production: “I remember thinking fuck, I haven’t got enough time to think this video through now, so if I set it in a mental hospital I can just do anything because they’re all eightball!”.
The story follows a cutsie/hardcore Japanese girl’s midnight-escape adventure. Expect epic chase scenes, baddie night watchmen, dastardly doggies, brain swapping and sweet redemption.
