NEW PIKELET VIDEO

It's been a while since we first heard Weakest Link, the standout track from Pikelet's wonderful second album Stem. And now it has a video! Melbourne artist Laura Cashman assembled this beautifully childlike and tactile stop motion accompaniment, which picks up on Weakest Link's lyrical naivety and throbbing, propulsive feel. Stop motion music videos have taken off in a large-ish way recently, but there's a streak of self-awareness here that sets it apart: Evelyn Morris' paper avatar seems simply bemused about being caught in the middle of a line of twirling cut-out ballerinas.
