its good to see the GRCU(Ginger Root cinematic universe) is expanding. Can't wait for the next episode
Good ol’ recurring janitor character. Love to see the continuation of what B4 started.
What are u guys talking about (im new here)
@@cruz3608 😂😂
@@hihowareyou9927 then you should check out his older music videos
@@cruz3608 yeah. and i'm quite nosy on knowing who he is lol
1:16 i love how he's on a killing spree and see's the Janitor listening to "Loretta" and is like : Nah he cool, he can live
The Janitor looks like he’s smoked a bit too much of the wacky tobaccy if you know what I mean ;)
@@skyfire8950 People talk about Rosetta Stone but what bout Loretta Stoned
@hovietkai damn you brilliant HAHAHA
The janitor is the janitor from karaoke?
He’s just Vibing
No one does the 80s aesthetic as perfectly as ginger root
Facts ✔
Except the 80s
What about eyedress and wuts her name.. Clairo??
@@therussainspy5775 ion like clairo that much but I LOVEEEE eyedress
@@therussainspy5775 she does 80s inspired stuff?? Since when? I haven't listened to her stuff for a long time
i absolutely can't put into words just how much i love this guy's entire aesthetic. The sheer idea behind the entire ep and the slight jab at 80s media, its honestly done so well. I only discovered him after loretta, but man i already love the music.
Yep
Same here man.
It's like what Jack Stratton and Vulfpeck are doing with the 70's aesthetic. Really appreciate both Vulf and Ginger Root commenting on the meta of those decades while still using it to create something fresh
definitely a complete genius for mixing funk with indie and soul. to search for those emblematic sounds of the 80s, videos and even commercials. A job well done, no doubt.
i love his voice is so good.
I remember watching this show in the early 90s when I would come home from school. I had all the pogs and VHS tapes. The main characters were amateur detectives in high school who were always getting into trouble. The main character's dad ran an old dojo and that's where their headquarters were. The Juban district was a party suburb where yakuza would deal drugs and rob stores at night, and this is one of the famous montages that would be at the end of every episode. I thought it was so cool that Cameron's character had an ultrasonic spying device that was disguised as a walkman, and that they would modify cassette tapes to be weapons. I asked my mom over and over to buy the same model for me but she could never find it. I remember there was a trivia quiz after the credits, and Neighbor was the song that would play over the preview for the next episode. I would tell my dad to tape the episodes while I was at school. I rewatched the VHS tapes until they were worn out. Good times.
exactly
@@GingerRootMusic so glad i understand now
Don't forget the episode where Steve Urkel guest starred and helped them hack into a gang database, it was one of my favorites! Still have the JOSN promo cards and a toy yo-yo that would play songs from the show when the rope would unwind. This show is what made me love noir and want to learn skateboarding and yo-yo tricks.
hey can i ask for the name of the show?
@@terryaverage284 City Slickers 1988. You will never find it as it's never been uploaded to the internet I don't think.
Love how the guy at 1:15 is listening to loretta
Same guy who played the janitor in the music video for B4 too. What an incredible continuity!
@@mckinleywyman he also appears in Le chateau, Juban district and Out of state ;)
"He lives for now" lol
@@kamidollen6708 he was cameron's buddy at dancing in the Juban District youtube MV lol!
when he notices his next victim is actually a fan watching Loretta lmao. this guy checks out ok- onto the next
Idk how he’s not super famous this dude is insanely talented I don’t like usually like indie music but I love this guy
let's keep them to ourselves😌
I feel the same about his music. Actually "indie music" neither is my cup of tea.
@@samararamlal9110 No. Let’s blow them up, and share what gives us joy to others, so they can enjoy it too. Ginger Root is going to get big, you’ll see
@@vidarhjal it's not indie, it's Aggressive Elevator Soul.
@@shaggy44zebra at this point I don't know anymore if that's a real genre or no :D but thanks
Guess I better start looping the whole EP in preparation now.
It's not my fault
My time was yesterday but
You'd thought I'd call
Not once, but twice that day so
It's factual
My time is not to stay but
Next time you call
Think twice, then look my way bud
[Chorus]
Here comes the city slicker
The city slicker
There goes the city slicker, he's on the run
He's just trying to get through the day
[Post-Chorus]
That's gonna do it
You know it's no fun
But ain't no-one can cut it
When it's all gone sideways
(But ain't no-one can cut it
When it's all gone sideways)
[Verse 2]
It's not my fault
This time, I can't explain but
I'll call you up
Insight is all but fame now
[Chorus]
Here comes the city slicker
The city slicker
There goes the city slicker, he's on the run
He's just trying to get through and trying to make do
He's trying to get through, but he know it ain't true
He's just trying to get through, yeah, he's fighting for you
I love how Ginger Root is the only one with a time travel device. 😂😅
Cameron,Matt, Dylan,やっぱこの3人が居てこそのGinger Rootだよね！久々に揃った姿見られて嬉しかったよ。続きも気になる！
やっとまた登場きた！
Amazing visuals, music and concept. Absolutly obsessed with Ginger Root ever since I first came across their work. Thank you so much for existing and making awsome art for us to look foward to.
Love the scene with the guard listening to Loretta. Such a bop.
This, the first time I say I can’t wait to hear and actually can’t wait.
I love all of this guy's songs and I'm sure this one won't be the exception.
the hair, the fashion, the humour, the talent... immaculate.
Heads up, I’m selling the napkin I used to wipe Cameron’s forehead in the video. Highest bidder in the comments!
Imagine if someone cloned Cameron from the napkin DNA. He could refilm the Loretta video in real time.
@@xilith117 Loretta was filmed in real time? How else could we have done it?
$7!!
$3.50
i'll give you $10
Do NOT sleep on this album! It's so good!!! The last song 'Entertainment' is my favorite! I hope these guys keep making more stuff like this.
yeah, Entertainment. that song lasted 5 months on top 1 of my spotify top track list. that song is a boppy.
超楽しみにしてる！！！
レコード買いましたー！！！
I've been feeling terrible today and I've really been looking forward to this,day saved
Stay strong!
ちゃんとアスペクト比が4：3になってるところも好き。
I love how the security guard wasn't paying attention the fight or doing his job and instead he was listening to Loretta as well watching it, which by the way as he should be lol
I love how creative this dude is with music videos! Ever since I saw Loretta I was overly curious about other projects on this channel. Thank you for kicking ass and being as musically and visually creative as you can be! It's wonderful to see.
definitely a complete genius for mixing funk with indie and soul. to search for those emblematic sounds of the 80s, videos and even commercials. A job well done, no doubt.
Immaculate Fun Action Comedy
Good Art
Beautiful Music
Shoutout to The Janitor for just Vibing as Usual
And Being The Janitor for Years
And Secretly Being the Ginger Root behind the Entire GRCU
I Know He’s the main Villain!
Incredible Vibe
I always love the little humor they add in their music videos
Ginger Root has such a distinct immediately recognizable sound to them, and that feel like a really rare and special thing to have for musicians that arent the level of worldwide/all time most popular
Absolutely brilliant and conceptually pleasing in a retro yet contemporary way! This is what the youth should be listening to! Everyone for that matter! Ginger Root is the real deal!
That janitor is definitely Ginger Root's #1 fan.
My favorite elevatorcore, indie, hypnogogic, shoegaze, electronic lofi, new wave, synth, fusion pop band back at it again
Hi dear.
I got a ticket!
Looking forward 1/16 at TOKYO🎉🎉
I like how their music always sound the same but it’s getting better and better
こんにちは！
私は日本のシティポップが大好きでいつもRUclipsで調べて聴いていました。そしたらその関連動画でGinger RootさんのRorettaを見つけ、曲が始まった瞬間に虜になりました😌💗
それから他の曲も気になってディスコグラフィーを調べてみましたが、全てのアルバムの音色が美しく、リラックスして聴き入ってしまいました🌝
その中でも今回のアルバムであるCity Slickerは大好きでたくさん聴いています🌃🛁✨
詳しい事は分かりませんが、日本の文化に着目してくださったのかな？と思いまして、勝手に嬉しかったです☺️
日本から応援してます〜！👵🏻🇯🇵🗻🗼🏯🌸

Even better than I could have ever imagined!

Damn, I love this project Damn, I love this project !!!!
this is so ducking awesome
When I saw Loretta was being watched by the security guard I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
I heard Loretta for the first time like an hour ago... I did not have to wait too long to find more new music from the band
つづく💘I can’t wait！
I love this so much, ginger root never fails to make me laugh and feel happy the music and videos are always full of good vibes !!!! All round just fun as hell !
Aside from the shots that are purposefully overexposed or fuzzy, the lighting is really really good. It distracts you from the barren warehouse this was shot in. Good cinematography all around.
Aaaah my favorite song off the ep getting a fun MV. City Slicker Era has been a fun one to follow! Looking forward to whatever u get up to next!! Also the Mahjong Room Keyboard cameo was cute haha
The mission impossible vibes with the retro graphics were fantastic. A+
