It's amazing to think it's been 6 years since Eric Wareheim's seminal Dance Floor Dale music video for the song Parisian Goldfish by Flying Lotus on his debut album, Los Angeles. That influential clip introduced many to Wareheim's music video aesthetic, which has now culminated in "Ham" by Mr. Oizo. While Wareheim has shown off some impressive commercial and music video chops in-between that breakthrough video and his latest, it's no coincidence that "Ham" is also a track by an artist on Brainfeeder Records. Brainfeeder, despite the deep musicianship they cultivate, has always had a bizarre side that is both avant garde and intentionally obtuse. The latter two, combined with a love of the grotesque, perfectly aligns with Eric Wareheim's style making the Brainfeeder-Tim marriage so successful.
Both Parisian Goldfish by FlyLo and Ham by Oizo (the original Parisian Goldfish?) have this repetitive quality that is perfect for Wareheim's over the top satire. Just as Tim and Eric grind a joke into the ground like a cigarette butt, only to have it jump up off the ground and die all over again, both Brainfeeder tracks obsess over a rhythm, only to summarily discard it and allow it to mutate into something else.
