Cornelius - Fit Song

Cornelius has a lot of really great videos for his songs, but Fit Song (released on the album Sensuous in 2007) stands out for me. The music has a somewhat minimalist vibe to it, staying quite simple throughout the song, making for an interesting departure from much of Cornelius' earlier works, where he would take a much more poppy, melodic approach. Here everything is comparatively subdued, and going in a much more conceptual direction.

The imagery in the video is what seals the deal on this song for me. It takes a camera slowly moving around an apartment, with all of the various things inside of it coming to life (no humans here with the exception of some images of Cornelius on the TV). The video almost seems to display an eco-system of inanimate objects, as sugar cubes, matches, toothbrushes, and a bunch of other stuff come to life. What I like about this is that these objects all act like they're their own species, with some moving around in herd-like patterns, while others take on almost human-life qualities (like the magnifying glass, and the wrestling figurine). At the same time, there's a neat contrast between some types of objects following geometric patterns in their movements, while others have a more free-flowing, organic style to how they move about.

In any case, it's a really neat video that is well worth checking out. Here it is below:
