Brody Dalle has unveiled a pretty amazing video for new single 'Meet The Foetus/Oh The Joy'. Check it out below.
The part-animated clip was premiered on Noisey this week, and shows a cartoon Dalle pregnant with child - before the baby escapes, dons a top-hat and goes on an intergalactic adventure on the back of some kind of cool ghost-dragon. Then there's babies growing from trees, a cartoon and real life cameo from Garbage's Shirley Manson and an awesome duet with them both. It's quite cool.
"I had just come out of a four year depression and I'd had a personality crisis after my daughter was born," Dalle told Noisey, discussing the video. "Bad post natal. The Distillers had ended and my life looked completely different. When I wrote that song I was starting to feel like myself again, I think physically I knew I was pregnant. I feel complete after having kids. I always felt lost and without a purpose, having kids has grounded me truly into myself."
She added: "I'm obsessed with Cowboy Bebop, I love anime. Japan is one if my most favourite places to go and play. "Meet The Foetus" is also about the anxiety of bringing kids into the world and the current events that have been taking place and affecting people everywhere."
