Laura Sicouri and Kadavre Exquis’s new animation has been doing the internet rounds of late, but it only took one watch of the short video to decide that this was a bandwagon we absolutely had to jump on. LSD ABC is a beautifully trippy visual exploration of the alphabet, illustrated by gorgeous animation which recalls the retro quality of 1980s graphics and technology in the absolute best light. The music and sound, designed by Kadavre, are the icing on this impeccably-executed cake; the ideal combination of sweet, funny, and cool slices of music cut with fuzzy feedback and crackling to match illustrations, such as “U is for Ultrafast” and “V is for VHS”." Educational is one way to describe it, but LSD ABC definitely trumps learning the conventional alphabet any day of the week.
