The Thermals’ New Video: “Not Like Any Other Feeling”

Over at Stereogum, our friends The Thermals just premiered the video for their latest single from Kill Rock Stars’ Personal Life. Apparently, the space program-themed clip took about six months to film in Seattle and Bellingham. Besides the Portland trio (dressed as astronauts, natch), the video’s real star is Cal Anderson Park, especially the Wallrus wall, which figures prominently–and oh yeah, the time and efforts of about fifty volunteers, the Seattle Experimental Animation Team, and director Clyde Peterson, all of whom worked to make the magic happen. Watch the video above and head over to Clyde’s blog to learn all about the high-tech yet lo-fi filming and rotoscoping process.
