Run the Jewels just dropped a new video from their joke-turned-Kickstarter-turned-dream-album-come-true, the remix of Run the Jewels 2 made entirely with cat noises, Meow the Jewels. They enlisted WTF wizard Cyriak to create a meowpocalyptic vision for “Meowpurrdy” (featuring Snoop Dogg, Lil Bub, Maceo and Delonte), a feline reimagining of the track “Jeopardy.” The video was released by Adult Swim, who attempts to put Cyriak’s mind-exploding animation into words, calling the video, “an LSD-nightmare miasma of cat limbs and teeth fractalizing into feline Cthulhu-esque monstrosities.”
We’re more inclined to call it a claw-straphobic hellscape lined with the furry souls of a thousand kitty angels and demons, but that doesn’t quite do it justice, either. Those familiar with Cyriak’s work—such as Malfunction, his twisted take on suburbia, or his psycho-gestalt of capitalism in the music video for Gong’s “Occupy“—will know that words never do him justice. Instead, just watch the meowgnificent video below.
