“People think killing time is bad…” Lopatin said to Simon Reynolds in 2010. “But when music is at its most sanctified, it’s a total time-kill.” Music that kills time will be familiar to any OPN fan, not least Val Kilmer (aka Iceman from ‘Top Gun’), whose role in the ‘Animals’ video was to simply sit in a hotel room listening to the track as a camera drifted around him. Director Rick Alverson created the video’s strobe effect by removing frames from the recording, resulting in a flickering, blinking image of Kilmer — at the time rumoured to be battling throat cancer — looking like a faltering hologram from ‘Blade Runner’.
