The Pop Group's new video: 'Zipperface'

The Pop Group - 'Zipperface' (Official Video)

The Pop Group have collaborated with one of Bristol’s most forward thinking and distinctive visual artists, Max Kelan Pearce, for the video of their first single 'Zipperface', taken from their forthcoming new album Honeymoon On Mars.

Max Kelan Pearce is a leading video artist within the contemporary Bristol underground. As well as producing backdrops for New York dubstep institution Reconstrvct, Kelan has collaborated with a wide variety of artists in recent years (Hodge, Karen Gwyer, Creta Kano, Seekers International) and is best known for his affiliation with Bristol’s Young Echo collective, working on projects for the likes of Asda, Giant Swan, Jabu and O$VMV$M.


“An alien encounter scratch video creates a temporary autonomous zone, an illegal Bristol broadcast from St. Paul’s pirate tv channel. Max is a cinematic heretic.”
Mark Stewart 


"Working for The Pop Group has been an honour, their early work help set the foundations in Bristol for what would become an incredibly experimental and musically diverse city.” Max Kelan Pearce
