We’re not sure if this new video from Eric Power is adorable or creepy! These little one eyed monsters are cute, but man, claymation still freaks us out. We blame Gumby, obvs. Still, little monsters this sad aren’t very threatening, even to our innately horrified hearts, and we’d in fact like to pet them on the head and let them know it will be alright, but we’d probably just smush them. This is why we don’t have nice things, according to mom. But the key takeaway here is that little one-eyed claymation monsters are just like us, yearning and lonely and just trying to get by a cruel non-claymated world. And they apparently try find commiseration through the music of the Lovely Sparrows. Misery and company and all that. This is the Sparrows’ take on Big Star’s “Take Care,” which follows Yo La Tengo’s version of the song. So this is like third generation, or something. Shawn Jones and company are currently recording their followup to last year’s debut LP, Bury the Cynics, expected sometime next year. We just hope he can hang in there that long. Buck up there, cowboy.
