Video: Uvi.Lov - "Поехали!"


Monterrey’s Uvi.Lov doesn’t take the “cinematic” description slightly. As our friends at Matinée As Hell point out, they’ve caught the attention of academic institutions within the cultural circuit, and they’re taking full advantage of such unsuspected encounters. After musicalizing Robert Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and making a conceptual album out of it, Uvi.Lov is back in the scholar department with a stunning audiovisual piece titled Поехали! (which translates as “Vamonos!”). This time, the band pays homage to Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (“first human being to journey into outer space”, 50 years ago). “Поехали!” is part of the art exhibit Saludos Gagarin: La Popularidad Irreparable, and brings Uvi.Lov to an astrophysical paradise. Through the accommodation (and manipulation) of historic audio, the song takes us straight to the moment of the launch as it celebrates a man’s journey into spacecraft.
