adminA brand new video for classic Beatles track I’m Only Sleeping has been released, featuring a wonderfully trippy, artistic new vision to go alongside the song’s woozy delights. Created by artist/director Em Cooper, the video sees the Fab Four rendered in a dizzying series of stunning oil paintings that seamlessly swirl into one another.
“Artist and director Em Cooper explored the space between dreaming and wakefulness, working on an animation rostrum on sheets of celluloid,” explains a statement accompanying the video. “She painted every frame individually in oil-paint, a laborious process which took many months.”
I’m Only Sleeping was originally included on The Beatles’ critically lauded and highly influential seventh studio album, 1966’s Revolver. The album has received a flashy new reissue that include new formats, mastering and exciting bonus material (see below).
Watch the new video for I’m Only Sleeping below.
