From "Strange Loop -- Golden Thread Gallery Downloadable PDF":
Weird Country is ambiguous in terms of time and place. As a viewer, one isn't fully aware of when or indeed where the video has been made - the grainy footage of cityscapes, the voiceover and music references (Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" (1994) and R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" (1996)) can assist in the placement of the work geographically and historically, but we are ultimately left ignorant as to where or what this uncanny "Weird Country" really is.
Furthermore, the synchronisation of EASTERJESUS's work as both musicians and artists, blurs and questions the boundaries between artists' video works and traditional music videos.
