Today’s video of the day is Mvtant – “Kanashibari” released in 2024.
Mvtant, the darkwave/industrial project of Joseph Anger from San Antonio, Texas, explores disturbing and surreal themes in their music. With heavy influences from body horror cinema and ero guro graphic novels, Mvtant crafts a world that blends dreamlike fantasies with nightmarish visions. The sound is raw and unrelenting, using lo-fi samples, intense basslines, and chaotic synthesizers. The video for “Kanashibari,” a track from the album Electronic Body Horror, mirrors these unsettling influences. Released on May 3rd, 2024, Electronic Body Horror showcases Mvtant’s unique style. Each song on the album dives into the concept of near-death hallucinations, posing questions about how much emotion and memory are stored in our flesh. The album asks if transplanting body parts could carry memories from the donor or even transfer sensations between two people.
“Kanashibari” stands out with its eerie atmosphere and disorienting visuals. The video complements the song’s haunting sound by focusing on the theme of sleep paralysis. Mvtant’s use of grotesque imagery and shapeshifting song structures ties back to their previous works, like the reissued Gore+Mirrorshade EP in 2021 and the remix collection Low Culture+Metal Bodies in 2023. With Electronic Body Horror, Mvtant continues evolving, weaving together themes of death, memory, and the body. This album shows a progression from earlier releases, pushing further into the territory of experimental and provocative soundscapes. For fans of dark electronic music, Mvtant offers a challenging yet rewarding experience.
