Watch a Weird Combination of Babies and Animated Ponies in the New Guts Club Video

This is like an 'America’s Funniest Home Videos' segment without the "boings".

It’s hard to tell what’s more disturbing in the latest Guts Club video for “All of the Babies.” Is it the creepy amount of infants sitting on a sofa, or the almost phallic milk bottles and epileptic horses surrounding them?

The video and song come from the mind of Lindsey Baker, who performs solo acoustic pop under the Guts Club moniker. Following on from her video for “Weird Boat” it seems Baker takes slightly weird but familiar grainy home video footage, then draws illustrations and adds animation around them. The result is a DIY crafty-meets-America’s Funniest Home Videos vibe, with some early 2000s anti-folk thrown in.

Ahead of the release of her forthcoming debut album, The Arm Wrestling Tournament, we tried to find out more about Lindsey’s fascination with babies and horses.

Noisey: Whose babies are they?
Lindsey Baker: I think these babies belong to an exceptionally large and well-timed family out of Florida or Ohio, somewhere with a high percentage of fertility enthusiasts.

Are all babies beautiful? Brand newborns look weird.
If this was a sofa full of newborns, I would literally just faint. Can you imagine the flaps of placenta and shit goo everywhere? It would be some TLC Duggars shit meets Wrestle Mania meets I'm gonna throw in cauliflower ear cause duh. I wouldn't faint, I would just die actually.

You sing about horses with a squeaky acoustic guitar. Are you a fan of Will Oldham?
In my mind, this is a nod to George Jones and bitches who want to have a bunch of kids cause that's some real ass love, there.

Who did the illustration of the baby bottles and horses?
I did. I stay up watching Grey's Anatomy doing my special crafts and thinking about other peoples' weird babies.

"The Arm Wrestling Tournament" drops Feburary 10 on Important Records.
