Fire-Toolz: “I Am A Cloud”

A crazy lit gas heap of a video. Full of digital collage insanity painted every color in the rainbow, edited into a kind of early MTV pastiche. For all the bright colors and gaiety, Fire Toolz flashes a somewhat dark sound, mixing electronica and sludgier industrial textures into an unlikely hybrid. Like Einstürzende Neubauten meets Teletubbies. 100 gecs meets Edgard Varèse. Our highlighted track “I Am A Cloud” floats in the breeze like a peach-flavored drone missile coming in for a landing.
