Just when it seemed like the [psychedelic music video](http://www.submarinechannel.com/top5s/2pause-top-5-psychedelic-music-videos/?ref=hyperallergic.com) trend was getting old, Japanese artist [Kota Yamaji](http://kotayamaji.jp/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s video for [tilt-six](https://soundcloud.com/tilt-six?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s track “[あなくろノイズ](https://vimeo.com/161683895?ref=hyperallergic.com)“ has come along to melt your head. The squeaky electropop track clashes with Yamaji’s surreal visuals. In technicolor CGI, nude harlequin cyborgs float through gardens; schoolgirls turn oceans into wormholes; flowers bloom out of eyeballs and eyeballs pop out of blooming flowers. The track’s title translates to “Anachronism Noise,” and Yamaji mashes up anachronistic aesthetics — some dated, some futuristic.

The result looks like what might happen if Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds found herself in a post-human future instead of in a boat on a hippie river. There are definitely “kaleidoscope eyes” and “marmalade skies” here, but these trippy tropes are made strange and new again with digital animation and a healthful dose of sci-fi strangeness.
