Washed Out x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: Frank Mouris – Frank Film (1973)
I got really into old art films and experimental animation while putting together the visuals for the new album and this was one of my favorite discoveries. It’s made from hundreds (or thousands!) of magazine cut-outs meticulously assembled together to paint a picture of the psyche of the artist that made it. Again, I make obvious connections to my own cut-out collage style as well as the style of a lot of the visual content for the record. It’s really amazing and even won an Academy Award for Animated short film in 1974. -- Washed Out
