Video Killed: Egyptrixx ft. Ohbijou - "Old Black"

The new video for this sped-up, cranked-up Egyptrixx version of the Earth song "Old Black" (featuring the Mecijas from Ohbijou, a band I quite enjoy, on vocals) is an all-too-rare example of visual art complimenting musical art.

Abstract forms pulse, divide and coalesce into stark, striking images. A 3D Rorschach emerges, your brain sees crinkled garbage bags, perhaps melting licorice. Black and white fade into white and black, shimmering from an unseen light source. 

The song, as Egyptrixx always is, is also awesome.
