Enigmatic producer ANiML returns to the freeform Los Angeles-based label StrataSonic to release a six-track mini album, 'Star Walk'. The new body of work, which comes alongside a new music video for 'Bruv' (directed by Spanish visual artist YZA Voku), is out now. Picking up where ANiML left off with 'Breather' and 'Bruv,' Star Walk elaborates further on that woozy-yet-sophisticated psychedelia, materializing as cinematic trip-hop, cavernous dub, and other unique genre concoctions across it's six tracks. 'Cherry,' with it's free-spirited, delay-soaked guitar riffs, depicts a colorful, post-rock-inspired soundscape. 'BabyD,' in step with 'Bruv,' features a mischievous marimba melody among ghostly vocal samples, a punchy drumkit, and a slackened bassline. These scenes are brought to life thanks to YZA Voku, a groundbreaking visual artist who is at the forefront of AI-assisted filmmaking in the animation space (see his work for The Weeknd, Swedish House Mafia, Hi Ibiza, and XG). The new music video for 'Bruv,' out today, unfolds in stark black, white, and red, evoking a noir-inspired aesthetic steeped in mystery and intrigue. Shadowy figures move rhythmically through dimly lit alleys and smoke-filled ballrooms, blending calculated steps with hypnotic dance sequences. The production blended real-life recordings with digital effects like blur, negatives, masks, analog textures, and AI-driven transformations using Runway's video-to-video tools. AI-generated sequences created with Midjourney and Runway were merged to contrast real footage with synthetic imagery. This type of work is a rejection that AI is simply used as a shortcut in art and comes at a time when musicians are beginning to embrace such tools for the visual components of their products.
