![]() ![]() The other two videos are completely animated, with ‘California’ following a trippy and colourful journey through a jungle, full of skeletons and creatures that are both freaky and funny. The first exclusive video is ‘Zombies’, which is similar to ‘Me and Your Mama’ due to the intimate positioning next to the stage, the footage of his live gig at Joshua Tree also has some animations overlaid above and around you there is a guitar solo in ‘Zombies’ that is a standout moment across the board. The videos, created by both Wolf + Rothstein and Microsoft included are good track choices, ‘Me and Your Mama’ is available to anyone who downloads the Pharos app, so technically the vinyl only gives you exclusive access to three. The virtual reality footage provided is impressive stuff, bear in mind that VR is still in the early stages, so the quality of the footage is not going to be top-notch HD for a while yet. Another nice touch with the vinyl record is the additional bonus track on Side D, this is a live version of The Night Me and Your Mama Met with vocals and lyrics not featured on the album version, and it is a beautiful piece of music. There’s also a booklet of unique images that are both dark and mesmerising, with a nicely positioned hollow section to slot your VR glasses into for safe-keeping. For a start, the boxset itself has a magnificent design, the album artwork was cool enough on a screen, but as a vinyl sized box (yes it isn’t just your standard sleeve) it looks sexy the design is bigger, bluer, and the headdress glows in the dark! There’s meticulous detail in every aspect, the headset has a design that follows the album’s colours and theme, with an illuminati symbol drawn on the side one criticism of the headset is the lack of a strap to hold it onto your head, so you can’t let go while you explore the world he has created (luckily enough I could watch through Samsung Gear). You can download the free app on iPhone or Android phones to check out the clip.However, if you forget about the mysterious hype, the limited edition album combines art, fashion, music, and video through a wonderfully executed concept. ![]() Designed for mobile VR headsets, the video finds Gambino covered in neon paint while performing “Me and Your Mama” at his Joshua Tree PHAROS event back in the summer. Whatever this VR experience ends up being, it might have something to do with the performance footage he just uploaded to his PHAROS Earth app. The actual delivery date of the vinyl is TBD, but all orders will come with an MP3 download of the album to enjoy during the wait. Gambino’s website describes it simply as “two 45 RPM heavyweight 12-inch vinyl records.” Pre-orders before the December 2nd digital release will also get a 17×11 poster, as well as instagrat downloads of singles “Me and Your Mama” and “Redbone”. What exactly a “virtual reality” vinyl record might be isn’t exactly clear. Donald Glover fans might have to wait a bit before getting the ultimate version of the Because the Internet follow-up, however, as he’s just announced a virtual reality limited edition vinyl due sometime next year. In just three days, Childish Gambino will drop his third album, Awaken, My Love!.
