Video: Die Vögel "Fratzengulasch"

• Words: Patric Fallon

German tech-house duo Die Vögel just sent over this quirky clip for the a-side tune off their brand-new 12" for DJ Koze's Pampa label, "Fratzengulasch." With a mixture of hand-drawn and digital manipulations, directors Katharina Duve and Timo Schierhorn, along with a small team of artists, transform what appears to be a massive class photo from the early 20th century into a playground for everyone in it. The video is certainly comical, but also retains an underlying dark side thanks to an ominous throb that builds in Die Vögel's track. You can stream both sides of the outfit's new record below.
