“Known for surreal, occultist films and performances, Los Angeles-based artist and musician Brian Butler debuted his new film Babalon Working, starring actress Paz de la Huerta, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles on Sept. 19. With a manic no-wave soundtrack, featuring guitarist Chris Stein of Blondie as well as the German electronic band Popol Vuh, the highly stylized eight-minute film uses symbolism and the archetype of woman-as-vessel to explore what Butler refers to in the press release as "the layers of ecstasy, madness, and creativity that mediate man's voyage between life and death." In the film, Paz emerges as a shadowy "scarlet woman" whose journey Butler binds to that of a young waiflike presence that undulates atop a floor emblazoned with obscure occult symbols.”

Quote

Joseph D.Rowland (Pallbearer):

"Popol Vuh is one of my favorite bands of all time. I'm not really sure how I came across Popol Vuh years ago, but they have consistently stuck with me as one of the most atmosphere-filled music groups that's able to conjure up such an incredible feeling, a meditative feeling, with simple but with awesome melodies, hypnotic". (2013)
