The debut single Canada's Gowan certainly grabbed my attention when I first watched it on Video Hits.
Set in the fictional School of Reform for Budding Arch Criminals, the video is part animated comic strip and part dark musical.
While the song was a slow burner for me, the video was bold and mind-blowing. The imagery paces well with the piano bits and other instrumentation.
For the next few years, the vivid imagination of Gowan never failed to take us on a cool trip, with amazing singles such as "Strange Animal;", "Cosmetics" and Moonlight Desires".
Saw him in concert was great
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine his animated style translates well on stage.
