Sheeps - Generation I

Official music video for Generation I by New Zealand Art Rock band Sheeps. Directed by Rich Turner of Black Lantern Film and VFX.

In an age of growing disquiet over technology’s advancement, Sheeps’ first single, Generation I, dutifully captures this sentiment, channeling it into five-and-a-half-minutes of their own high-tempo, guitar-driven brand of Art Rock.

Born from frontperson Dean Blackwell’s concern for the young generation of guinea pigs in a technological new world order and backed by an unrelenting Indie-Rock-with-a-DnB-feel from the rhythm section, the guitars drone with an incessance that speaks to the constant exposure to content and throat-stuffing of advertisements, and Blackwell sings, with a jaded cynicism, of a hammering self-centredness which sees these youngsters develop a habit of oversharing to the point of indecency to an imagined global audience.
