I See Faces - Song Selection, Initial Ideas

Given songs:

  • Flamingo by Kero Kero Bonita (too annoying, silly, sickly)
  • Sun Goddess by Yesterday's New Quintet (crazy respect for Madlib all day, but has made better. Still potential & love this track but not so inspired upon first few listens)

Chosen song: Homeless by Burial.

Burial send you to another place and I am keen to try and create some quite far out responses for this project. It evokes more than the other two songs, certain feelings and images and experiences...

  • dark
  • mysterious
  • deep
  • intense
  • like a trip
  • reminds me of urban landscapes, housing estates and messy house parties
  • early morning/night time vibes, walking alone
  • unnerving but also kind of comforting
  • DEEP
  • otherworldly 
I picture quite a dark, scary looking figure, possibly tribal and human-like yet definitely not human, from another world. Possibly faceless or without eyes, but all seeing. Inviting to another place, not sure whether to follow but still curious and end up going anyway. Like a dream.
