The return of iamamiwhoami

I just checked my YouTube subscriptions and saw that the wonderful iamamiwhoami are back with a new song/video called "Fountain". They've also announced (well, kind of) that WAVE is the name of new directors' collective from Stockholm. Assume this is just a formal name for the directors they've worked with on their dozens of videos.

If you're not familiar with iamamiwhoami, just Wiki them. Their brief 4 year history is far too detailed and complex for me to summarize at this hour.

For those of you familiar with iamamiwhoami, what do you make of "Fountain"? I think the song itself is quite beautiful and feels a bit celebratory. Well, celebratory for Scandinavians. With Jonna burning the black box from the KIN album and then, presumably, pouring its ashes into the ocean one could infer a few things -- iamamiwhoami is saying goodbye to the artistic world/vision of BOUNTY and KIN and preparing us for something new. Or perhaps they're saying goodbye...for good? God I hope not.

They are, ever so subtly, soliciting crowdfunding via the "Generate" page on their site, so I assume this is not the end, but rather the beginning of something new. I'm rambling. It's late. I'm just so glad they're back. What do you lot think?
