Hideous Baby Dominates In Boyfrndz’ “Make Believe” Video

Boyfrndz is probably the worst band name anyone has heard in a long time, and it’s much more likely to call to mind a boy band than an experimental psychedelic progressive band from Austin, Texas. But the latter is what Boyfrndz is, and they’ve just put out a new creepy and hideous music video for their track, “Make Believe.” The video is very much in the style of a mid-’90s Tool video, along with some of the imagery associated with Megadeth‘s Youthanasia album, which is to say that this is a stop-motion video that features babies, well, horribly disfigured baby dolls. Go ahead and watch the video in the player above, but beware that you may not be able to unsee it.

“Make Believe” comes off Boyfrndz’ second and latest LP, Breeder, released in late 2013 on Brutal Panda Records and produced/engineered by Erik Wofford. Breeder can be streamed via the band’s official Bandcamp page. The album is available on vinyl at brutalpandarecords.com and digitally at boyfrndz.bandcamp.com.

Not surprisingly, considering the band’s genre, they’ve recently toured with Chino Moreno’s Palms, and will soon tour with Caddywhompus and Future Death. See below for a list of tour dates.
