Despite coming from Guadalajara, a city not necessarily known for pushing the boundaries of avant-garde rock music, Descartes a Kant brought a breath of fresh air to Mexico's rock landscape. They are a rare amalgamation of punk energy, noise rock and theatrical elements, creating a delightful disarray of music experimentation. Their music itself isn't the only component that stands out. Their penchant for visually innovative and boundary-pushing music videos, created in conjunction with imaginative directors, has really pushed the envelope of what one might expect from a Mexican punk band.
Their music video for "Suppertime Rules", directed by Jorge G. Camarena, is a colorful splatter-punk adventure, filled with grotesque masks and vivid, unforgettable imagery. Meanwhile, their video for "Apricot Dreams" carries a sci-fi feel, with the band members transformed into otherworldly characters, complete with elaborate costumes and props. The edge this band carries doesn't stop in their videos either. In one peculiar occurrence, spotting one of their early album covers featuring a doll submerged in a concoction of questionable hue might have your relatives possibly question your music taste at a family gathering. Whether on stage, on the recording floor, or in music videos, Descartes a Kant has managed to bring the unexpected into the forefront of modern punk.
