Here are some vibrant images, found online, that inspired the visual direction of the recent official IAMX music video I Come with Knives.
A mood board if you will.

Here’s a continuation of images that caught my eye on tour.
My Dear Friends,
How the fuck are you all?
A quickie….In my post album completion silence I started taking a few sloppy pictures of whatever stimulated. It began in Animal Impulses tour rehearsals.

This journal was done by Danny Drysdale, our new comrade and fabulous indie film and video maker (Killers, Cursive, Compact Space, Crispin Glover).
Here is what he has to say:
My Children.
As you well know it is unusual I work with other people on my music. I am generally an egocentric introvert with masses of self love and self loathing in equal measure so I must say I was shitting my load over collaboration. But the process has been a refreshing revelation. Rather than being paranoid and defensive over my babies, my time recording in Berlin has plumped me up like a previously withering recently watered flower. Once over the hurdle of exposing raw material and demos to other professionals it very quickly became one big funny family with a common goal.
New friends and old friends are involved in this album and the work is ongoing. There may be a few surprises in the video journals, unexpected faces, snippets of tracks that may or may not make it onto the final record and the usual IAMX calamity, but I implore you not to be infected by demo-itis and get attached to what you hear. You are hearing and seeing things that would never usually be heard or seen so…..
