Chicago-raised, Brooklyn-based electronic duo Gilligan Moss is kicking off 2021 with their new single and video, “Slow Down.” Tethering together carefree vocals, warm instrumentation and the most infectious of basslines, ‘Slow Down’ is a fresh, feel good nu-disco and house anthem that has been crafted for an eternal summer. “Slow Down” will be part of their forthcoming self-titled debut album, out April 9 via Foreign Family Collective.
“As The Eagles say, take it easy,” explained Gilligan Moss in a press statement. “‘Slow Down’ is a song of universal feeling; it’s driving 5 mph with the windows down, enjoying the crumbled oreos at the bottom of a milkshake. We wrote this while we were decamped at GilMo HQ and if you listen closely, you can hear Merle the dog singing along too. Wash, rinse, repeat.”
Accompanying the track is Gilligan Moss performing ‘Slow Down’ in claymation, directed by Italian claymation artist and set designer Francesca Morea. Through the video, the two morph into different versions of themselves, in the sea as octopuses, in their natural element outdoors, in the club, as children, and in outer space. The duo is observed by an older gentleman who glides through each scene effortlessly on a skateboard, picking up elements from the guys surroundings while adding color and joy to his life. Morea worked meticulously to create the plasticine characters and backgrounds composed of various materials- polystyrene, plasticine, and paints. When animating the sets, Francesca worked at an impressive 14 frames per second, moving the characters again and again to create the defining movement, what she defined as a “surreal journey”.
