Gunship release new music video for ‘DooM Dance’

GUNSHIP have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track DooM Dance, is taken from the British synthwave band’s latest studio album, Unicorn, which was released in September last year, via Horsie In The Hedge.

The new music video is the band’s tribute to 1990’s era VHS anime releases. Veteran voice actor Sean Barrett – (known for his anime roles in classic 80s/90s anime Dominion Tank Police, Cyber City Oedo 808, Lupin the 3rd, Star Fleet, and Roujin Z) also provides narration for the video.

Speaking about the new music video, Dan Haigh of GUNSHIP says, “both CyberCity Oedo and Dominion Tank Police were pivotal influences on me growing up. To finally get hold of these mythic VHS tapes in the 90s, in the UK, featuring animation all the way from Japan, was like finding the rarest treasure. I think my small town had literally one copy of Cyber City which was bootlegged to near disintegration. To discover in an instant that animation could convey dark and atmospheric adult stories but also be such an amazing medium for bringing cutting-edge and controversial science fiction concepts to life, opened a gateway to anime love that I’ve kept ever since. This golden era of hand-drawn anime included many greats – Cyber City, Ghost In The Shell, Akira, Wicked City, Appleseed, Patlabor, Goku Midnight Eye, etc – which in my opinion significantly influenced a generation of Western directors and artists in a fantastic way. GUNSHIP would not be the way it is without these memorable and thought-provoking works of art.”
