In case you haven't heard, the '90s are back.
Blink-182 is going through a critical reappraisal. There's a new Blair Witch movie. Tupac and Biggie are back in the news. So maybe it's just the generational nostalgia in the air—or the fact that MTV Classic launched a little while ago—but the new Mascaras video is giving off serious Liquid Television vibes. Animated by former WW Music Editor Casey Jarman, who put out the three-piece instrumental act's debut album on his Party Damage label, the clip for "Burgers and Balrog" is a tripped-out two minutes of flashing primary colors and eyeballs morphing burgers into heart-worms into wrestlers and all kinds of other free-associative imagery. Slam a Crystal Pepsi and freak out.
