We’re all used to pizza parties, but I’m inviting you all to a different kind with the video for Anamanaguchi’s new song, “Endless Fantasy.” The video, the latest from the album of the same name, is an electronic trip full of good vibes through the streets of Williamsburg that results in a worldwide pizza party. I’m not into electronica (or dance music in general), but I can’t deny the happy feelings Anamanaguchi makes me feel. For those unfamiliar with the group, Anamanaguchi is a chiptune band from New York City that makes music by sampling NES and Game Boy hardware (which is where the term “chiptune” comes from). Their music is guaranteed to make you want to surround yourself with blinking, brightly-colored objects and smile. I don’t even remember the last time I smiled…
If you’re interested in helping the band out, Anamanaguchi has a Kickstarter going (with nine days left as of publication) to help fund the Endless Fantasy album. Some fund rewards include USB drives, Endless Fantasy on 2xLP, limited edition playable NES cartridges inspired by the album’s songs, and funding towards an Anamanaguchi vocal remix album (with an example including a Das Racist remix, to boot). Anamanaguchi will be performing at Lincoln Hall tomorrow, May 25th. Those looking to dance under the flashing lights can find tickets here.
