Today the Tijuana Panthers release their fourth album, POSTER, via Los Angeles-based label Innovative Leisure. To celebrate the release, the Long Beach trio is also sharing a new music video for their single "Set Forth".
The video was made by a talented Tijuana Panthers fan named Anny Yi of "He Ho Let's Doh". The band, dressed as their alter-egos, go trailing through a forest, meeting various eclectic friends along the way. An original concept by Tijuana Panthers, "Set Forth" is a stop-motion animation video with sets and characters made out of play-doh. Other materials used are craft shrubbery and grass, and acrylic paintings as backgrounds. It took Anny a month and a half to handcraft the sets and characters, then shoot the video and edit it. The nature of the video fits perfectly with the bands nostalgic and introspective fourth album.
The band on the video and their inspiration behind it:
"We grew up on Saturdays in the 1980's with our babysitter H.R. Pufnstuf and our good pal Gumby once fell through the tube during the Land of the Lost theme song, but he made it out alright in the end. The Blockheads who followed, though, weren't so lucky. A girl named Penny would visit us in the playhouse...Chad would sit on Chairy, Daniel would wrestle with Randy & I would listen to Cowboy Curtis go on and on about Miss Yvonne. We were homeschooled by Mr. Herman on how to view the world around us and more importantly, how to interact with it. Pee-wee told us to "Set Forth," so we did and into the woods we ran...found our own paths, with our own friendly creatures, and together we keep bopping along down that crazy surrealist bucket. So take a look, take a listen..."
The band will be playing an album release show at The Regent in Los Angeles on September 4th. For the show the Panthers will be joined by fellow SoCal-based acts The Garden and Adult Books.
POSTER arrives right on time, to reflect on this summer and summers past. You can now purchase the album on vinyl, CD, and all digital formats via Innovative Leisure. Check out the video for "Set Forth" and full album details below.
