Porter Robinson Releases Flicker Music Video
. Following in the tradition of the epic "Lionhearted" music video, the new clip for "Flicker" combines digital images to live action, creating a surreal environment akin to a video game. Where "Lionhearted" explored a youth-gone-wild rampage, the video for "Flicker" offers up a rolling landscape as seen through the window of a moving train. The clip sets a warm, hypnotic mood that perfectly mirrors the track. "I very much love chipmunked-up soul beats. Just late Jay Dilla-t stuff," Robinson told Radio.com about the track during a recent interview. "I think that the reason I love soul samples is because of the Daft Punk Discovery album, which remains my favorite album of all time. So when I heard the same style of records in a hip-hop context I was really, really in love when I was younger. "I was messing with soul samples and made this little beat just for fun, at least I thought. Then I'd made this MP3 of taking a bunch of titles I had in a notepad and ran them through a Japanese text to speech program and it spit out this basically nonsensical Japanese text and I cut it up into this little rap and I was just so charmed by that. It's the two sides of me, very much� that's one of my favorite songs on the album." Watch the video here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
