Stranger Again Video - An Americana Universe of Puppets and Color
Blue Cactus brought puppeteer Alan Best and artist Gabe Anderson together to bring their concept of a puppet and silhouette world to fruition. Alan and Gabe have been sporadic collaborators over the years, combining puppetry with live music. Stranger Again shows them tastefully exploring a new medium of shadow puppetry and video. The songs themes of longing for the spark that once was is embodied in the shadowy silhouettes and fine paper cutouts. Pulsing colors created by Gabe putting a TV crystal to his phone maintain a playful hope and love throughout. Watch Stranger Again below. The album, released May 7th with the same title is available on vinyl and CD as well as streaming in all places.
