Couldn’t get this knocked out when the single released but here’s a little something for Dark Things.

Main reference was from a young Dustin back in his Downplay days at a “Nightmare After Christmas” concert, where he was dressed as Jack Skellington. Other references are all the “spooky” Starset visuals I could think of, mainly drawing from Monster for D’s costume, Bringing It Down for the ghosts (wanted to include the other members of the band but ran out of time), Something Wicked This Way Comes and Toksik’s troll, with a broken sky to show it’s all just a digital nightmare anyway. 

Not surprised that I’ve loved every single they’ve released so far, but this one is just so cinematic and really hits those unique sounds that make this band different from others. And I LOVE that the rest of the band got to be part of the chorus.

Happy anniversary! Thanks for all the inspiration.

I wanted something chaotic in the style of the Ernest Goes movie series, and also the muppets (because I’m crazy??) So I ended up with this, using all of the non-canon critters and bots that are featured in the visuals including: ECHO Unit, Toksik trolls and lizard space men, Wormstin, robot from “Back to the Earth”, as well as other STARSET elements like PROX, hidden star logos, “S” logos, and some other little gags. 

I really enjoyed this over the top “book tour”, which was created specifically for the fans. Excited for whatever comes next, but it's definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to this story. 

And about the whole visual AI “controversy”, if you're mad you missed the whole point.
