Film At 11: Lali Puna

Veteran electro-pop pioneer Lali Puna returns after a five-year silence with bleepy, softly affecting single “That Day” and an exquisitely animated video to illustrate the song’s melancholic narrative. The Yu Sato-directed video complements the song’s simplicity with grace, depicting a young woman’s longing for resolution to a nameless, troubling set of events. After quite literally losing her head in the beginning, she befriends a group of bear-like musicians who help her reclaim herself, metaphorically and physically. In sound and image, the result is whimsically pleasant. Lali Puna’s fourth LP, Our Inventions, came out April 9 on Morr Music.
