- The duo will release a DVD showcasing animation soundtracked by their recent Cocoon release.
Haven't had enough animals in your life yet? You might be in luck: Swedish duo Minilogue will be releasing Animals – The Movie later this month.
The film, which gives life to the creatures that you see accompanying much of Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson's work, is an 80-minute work split into 15 chapters—soundtracked by tunes from the group's 2008 album of the same name. Trippy scenes are the name of the game for much of what we've seen so far: Fantastical half-donkey/half-elephants and penguin pig rhinos feature throughout as part of the show. Mullaert and Henriksson tell us that they'd always envisioned the Minilogue project as having a visual aspect, and that much is clear in the trailer below.
And, for those who haven't had the pleasure: "Hitchiker's Choice."
