Holy collaboration Batman, GUM and Ambrose Kenny-Smith are up to their old tricks again and this time it’s serious!

After releasing a couple of singles together last year, Australia’s newest, hottest and rockin’est musical duo are making it official with an honest-to-god album release, announcing their melodious matrimony with a new single and video for the album’s title track, Ill Times.

Filmed in Melbourne by self-professed ‘film-faker’ and regular King Gizz/Murlocs directorial deviant Guy Tyzack, the set-up was about as simple as you could ask for: "Shooting this took me back to the basics of why I love filmmaking…” Guy explains “There was no crew, just me and my op shop super 8 camera roaming the city and shooting from any kind of rooftop bar I could find”

Beyond making Melbourne look like the clocks got wound back fifty odd years, Tyzak included some stylish ‘bullet-time’ stop-motion shot/edits to add just the right amount of aesthetic sauce to tip this one into Feature video territory. Ill Times indeed!
