Off-kilter pop outfit Night Lunch unveils a new music video for “Junkyard of Love”
Before they depart for Austin, TX to perform at SXSW 2024, Montreal’s freaky pop maestros Night Lunch unveil a psychedelic visual feast by video artist Phil Osborne (Osborne Oddities) for the deep cut “Junkyard of Love”, perhaps the snarkiest title off their sophomore full-length, Fire in the Rose Garden (October 20th, 2023 via Mothland).
“Junkyard of Love” is a song about loneliness and isolation. Cannon fire says just how silly we can be, planting us firmly as the butt of the joke. – Lukie Lovechild (Night Lunch)
“Lukie gave me some footage that he and Marlee shot in a junkyard. I edited what I thought were the best parts then did some rotoscoping of Lukie over the footage using a computer screen as my rotoscope machine. Going frame by frame with paper on the screen, tracing him playing guitar or dancing. These parts were inspired by Rick Raxlen’s animations. Then I decided to improvise some more animation based on what is said in the lyrics, including some junkyard-type creatures such as a love tank shooting hearts out of its eyes. All drawings were done using sharpies on 8.5” by 11” paper. At least 600 drawings in total.” shares Phil Osborne (Osborne Oddities)
