15. Born Gold – “Lawn Knives”
Throughout the last few years as GOBBLE GOBBLE, Cecil Frena has firmly entrenched himself as a major proponent of weirdo pop songs. “Lawn Knives” in particular was one of the weirdest, featuring some of the most surreal lyrical imagery the year saw. It was paired with an appropriately surreal video featuring a group of kids doing… something. There’s definitely some religious connotations to be made, with the Bible making an appearance and one particular little girl’s role in leading the troupe of children. It’s beautifully shot more than anything, and even if the narrative structure is unclear, the sinister nature of the whole ordeal is entirely apparent. It’s a fittingly bizarre video, for an entirely bizarre song.
