Regina songsmith Andy Shauf's The Party is another couple of months away, but the singer-songwriter is mesmerizing us ahead of time with a music video. Following an audio stream of the set's "The Magician," the song has now been given a whimsically weird video treatment.
Directed by Winston Hacking, the short film finds Shauf's mug surrounded by morphing cut-and-paste visuals, which make him the singing centre of a fungal exhibit, a faceless mountain wanderer and part of a food-styled tableaux with a woman wearing a pair of ice cream sundaes.
In a statement, Hacking said of his intentions: "My mom gave me a bunch of old postcards from my grandparents' collection — they were the starting point for the idea and became the backdrop to the video."
