Kosch & Bosco give us a rather unusual music video for its short song “Othered Bubble,” a song with an enigmantic title as well. It looks comprised of repurposed scientific process videos of material dynamics and titration, of manufacturing and the automated production of a plastic toy. The song, what might be described as progressive jazz with all the fluff cut out, seems like a commentary on the way many people self-alienate by holding other people in some way as inferior. The lines “Radioactive in my othered bubble/Completely different, nothing but trouble/I am better than this, I want to be better than this” point to an awareness of how problematic such a cultivated stance of considering oneself separate from other people, special even, and how toxic such a mindset can be. That this song is kind of a jaunty jazz pop tune is coupled with the video and those lyrics gives it an interesting conceptual contrast that is sustained and contained perfectly in its one minute, sixteen second duration.
