Redshape’s deliciously dark dancefloor opus “The Land” (just released on Martyn’s 3024 imprint) is hardly the kind of low-slung tech-house track that most would pair with a Belgian animation from the ’60s. Fortunately for us, though, Redshape is rarely one to disappoint, and this lush clip—assembled by filmmakers the29nov, who’ve made videos for Deepchord, Ben Sims, and Harmonic 313 in the past—is no exception.

Coincidentally, “The Land"’s video manages to string together a whole lot of actual red shapes as it repurposes Raoul Servais’ gorgeously drawn 1968 short film Sirene—about the untimely death of a mermaid, and the episode’s poignant aftermath—to suit the tune’s panicked, frenetic thrust. And if that weren’t enough for you, it also serves as a brief meditation on poverty, death, science, law, media, and religion. Now name another house track whose video can do that!
