ZAND has shared a brilliantly twisted video for ‘TOES!’.
Paying homage to every part from ‘The Substance’ to ‘The Muppets’, it’s a five-minute noir fever dream soundtracked by their signature industrial-pop chaos.
Talking on the video, ZAND has stated:
“Arguably my greatest music video but, TOES! is my most creatively bold visible work regardless of boasting a movie crew of simply three folks with a reasonably small finances. The video is a gripping story of homicide, thriller, puppetry, low cost rubber masks, possession, wigs, dinner conferences with a stranger for “enterprise” (terrifying), an ambiguous newspaper, bangers and mash, fish and chips, a bored waitress, and finally, the wrestle to reside with each the brightest and darkest elements of your self. This one feels extra like my first brief movie relatively than only a music video – I actually obtained to train my film making bone. I’ve at all times needed to make use of puppets in my visible work and this was the proper alternative to take action, the thought’s been in my head for a very long time now. Right here goes my puppeteering debut, I suppose…”

Delving additional into the story of ‘TOES!’, they’ve shared:
“This story is actually a metaphor for constantly battling with your self – the Boar character represents all of the “ugly” elements of 1’s psyche – so in my case horrible intrusive ideas, imposter syndrome, persistent psychological sickness, the downsides of neurodivergence, even struggles I’ve had with substances like alcohol earlier than I went sober. Ultimately, The Boar is tricked by The Puppeteer and Sue, turning him right into a innocent little pig puppet – not killing him (like The Boar killed The Sewerstar who ended up reincarnating as Sue The Puppet lol) however making him smaller, storing him away, simpler to cope with, studying the way to management him. On the finish of the day, each one in all these characters you see are reduce from the identical fabric, as a result of they’re the identical particular person they usually neglect that consistently – therefore The Puppeteer’s shock to see The Boar reveal they’re the identical particular person behind the masks. It’s about not permitting these “unsavoury” elements of you to utterly take over. They might really feel sturdy at occasions and as if they will overpower you utterly, however bear in mind you’re the grasp pulling the strings – not them. Hope that every one is smart. There’s far more occurring that I might clarify for ages however I’ll allow you to guys put all that collectively and interpret for your self”
