A long, long time ago, Aphex Twin had some big music videos, but it's been 17 years since his last one. His music releases have become plentiful again, but today's video for "CIRKLON3 [ Колхозная mix ]" is Richard D. James' first in almost two decades. It's also directed by a 12 year-old, because, y'know, all Aphex Twin news has a standard of weirdness that must be met. Dublin's Ryan Wyer is the talented youngster, who was contacted by James through Youtube. Check out the video below, Aphex Twin's Cheetah EP is out July 8 through Warp.

I received my degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and Virginia is still home. Apart from my yearly pilgrimage to Moogfest and occasional shows in DC, Detroit, and New York, I like to stick to the fringes, with an eye always open toward music that is forward-thinking and unique, whatever the genre.
