It’s hard to imagine some of the most iconic electronic artists of the 1990s having quite the same punch without the visual ingenuity of Chris Cunningham.

The director’s work precedes him: Aphex Twin’s face-swapping videos for ‘Come To Daddy’ and ‘Windowlicker’, Bjork’s ‘All Is Full Of Love’ and Squarepusher’s ‘Come On My Selector’ are all classics, and he’s also produced freaky clips for Autechre, Portishead, The Horrors and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. If you’re not familiar with his work, 2013’s Director’s Series DVD is an excellent starting point (and the brave can take the plunge with his Aphex-scored mindfuck Rubber Johnny).

His latest project is a documentary about L.A. four-piece Warpaint, titled Love is to Die. The film, which has been two years in the making, follows the group as they work on their self-titled second album, which hit stores last week. Speaking to Dazed, Cunningham describes the clip as follow:

“It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to make a music video in a traditional way, so a video diary is more appealing to me. I thought what might be interesting would be to film stuff in this big way and make a surrealist thing…It covers everything around and during the making of the record, but it’s not a ‘making of’. It’s me filming with a camera whenever I have one and them filming on their phones, and then I’ve been taking outtakes and random pieces of drumming and making new remixes of their songs and using that as a soundtrack.”
