Denki Groove -- UFOholic

I'd like to state that no actual horses were harmed in the making of the following video.

However, if you have ever wondered about what would happen with alien-abducted Equus ferus caballus, then this is the video for you. This belongs to Denki Groove's(電気グルーヴ)"UFOholic",  a track from their March 2017 album "Tropical Love" and as composed by DG maestro Takkyu Ishino(石野卓球), it's a pretty happy and bouncy technopop tune. Characterized by a cute and catchy little computer riff, it's appropriately dreamy and spaced-out as a more approachable "2001: A Space Odyssey" version of that end-of-movie journey to becoming the Starchild.

The director for the cute if somewhat unsettling video was Cyriak who has his own distinctive style. Apparently, he enjoys the Droste effect. But here is another one of this video creations for Run The Jewels' "Meowpurrdy".
