Food Pyramid get old-school spacey in new 'Cruisin' video

​New locals Food Pyramid have honed in on a very specific era of ambient, experimental music making for their debut cassette tapes, I and II. History lesson: Food Pyramid dabble in what's known as kosmische; like the name suggests, it's a cosmic-sounding, computer-driven style of ambient electronic music that emerged out of Germany in the late '60s and '70s. Sounds heady, right? But it's worth learning about (there's a whole Wikipedia page about kosmische, even), because Food Pyramid happen to be doing some really interesting things with the genre.

Case in point: Their brand new video for "Cruisin'," which looks like it was culled from a Nova episode about space exploration in 1976.
