The creepy jerky video by Kris Moyes for the relatively serene ‘Gun-Shy’ from last year’s Grizzly Bear album Shields finds the band getting various surgical and medical samples taken from them at a very pleasant-looking location (Taylor’s house).
The idea came from a question:- if the creative energy of any living organism could be seen, what would it look like? Ed, Daniel, T and Bear demonstrate where their creative energy is located by extracting their hair, nails, skin, sweat, tears and blood. This is an invitation for a very rare glimpse of what creative energy could look like on a molecular level, if it could be seen.
