New York City chiptune band Anamanaguchi took me completely by surprise with their fast paced new single “Meow.” The official music video, set in some retro-futuristic arcade/video game, is so ripe full of acid-trip images and throwbacks it’s hard to keep your head on straight. I’m pretty sure I saw characters such as Parapppa The Rappa, Furby, and Dennis Rodman floating around in their.

Anamanaguchi is known as a chiptune or ‘chip-punk’ band as they makes loud, fast music with video game hardware from the late 1980’s, such as a Super NES and Gameboy. Although the samples are taken from 8-bit machines, the band states that they take their inspiration from groups such as Weezer and The Beach Boys. “Meow,” is the first single from Endless Fantasy, Anamanaguchi’s second LP due out this spring and judging from their crazy video, this is going to be one wild ride. Buy “Meow” on iTunes and watch the acid trip below.
