Primus is so fun and funky....but alas, I cannot hear a single song by them without trying to fit the South Park lyrics into the melody 🤣

Mmm...shoegazey...

Hmmmm....it may be a far out opinion, but I THINK they may be fans of MBV.....  🤣

I hear Lush and Slowdive, myself.  

But...yeah...(gets all dreamy eyed)...love that melodic harmonic wall of noise.  Pure bliss.

...or did you mean the movie?  LOL.  I didn't watch the video until just now, just listened to the music.

Moving aside the near-comic video, I kind of like the group singing.  Reminds me a bit of Waulking music like Talitha MacKenzie, and Ashley MacIsaac's Sleepy Maggie

Post-rock (of the non-crescendo-core variety) -- very tasty (The F1rst Take is a YouTube channel dedicated to showing (off) musicians performing a song -- live in the studio, or at least the ones on screen -- in its entirety in one take):

Very great, familiar song that I never knew the name of, nor the act that performed it.

Was led to it by the comments section in another video short:

New Dodie drop on repeat for a while.

This is one of those songs that when I first heard it I just liked the little, subtle hooks in it. And the overall mood. Then slowly, I actually started getting the lyrics and, well, fuck.

Spoiler

And I saw you unwind
Your sleeve caught on a wire
You naked and true
Dancing alone in the shadows
Of the emptiest house
On the emptiest street
Those hours we burned
Like old news on the mantel

What a merry-go-round
Ride back to ninety-nine
We used to be friends
Slinking down to the bottom
Of old bed-stone walls
Held on all summer long
You'd tied a rope to me then said

"You have to let me go"
"You have to let me go"
"You have to let me go"
"You have to let me go"

We used to be friends, circa '99
All the years you spent
Slipping into shadow
From an old dream you wake
One frozen summer day
You'd tied a rope to me then said

"You have to go away"
"You have to go away"
"You have to go away"
"You have to go away"

I guess all I mean to say
Is I know I haven't been
The friend I was back then
But all this time rots out the brain
Empties it, refills it up
Until the ones you'd love
You'd never recognize

If not for a familiar face
A fleeting glance to send
You back against the odds
Of having lost every trace
Of who we were before the earth
Had spun around the sun
Two thousand times
Like it wouldn't once more
