Whimsy takes center stage in “Hysterical” by Pet Owner. With mixing and mastering by Amadeus Fries, the track is packed with quirky sonic details, like claps, computerized shrieks, and gang vocals, which all add to the lush synths and pulsing beats. The self-produced music video dives even further into the surreal, transforming a 3-D desert into a vibrant, kaleidoscopic marshland. Rainbow-hued amoebas float through the sky as colors shift and change unpredictably. The video eventually ends in an animated ocean, where an orca defies gravity, flipping joyfully through the waves. Though it’s sometimes unclear what’s happening, it’s always a blast to experience.
