A short surreal animated film by Felix Colgrave: DONKS.
Really liked the not-whale fall at the end.

Love Felix Colegrave! Highly recomend Double King and Dry Run! Happy to see Patreon revitalize a lot of these great animators that couldn't keep up with the Algorithm Wars.

I think I detected some little nods to Cyriak here and there in the soundtrack.
I felt the same vibe - not just the soundtrack, but the action itself. Prior Cosgroves have generally had kind of a narrative throughline overall, and this one seemed much more just playing in a visual space.

The artist's last name is 'Colgrave', rather than Cosgrove.
Only noticed because 'Cosgrove' is my own last name which piqued my curiosity. The video was really cool!

Nice!
One of the gentlest/cutest/most accessible Colgrave animations is the video for Flyin' Bamboo, which is what I show people first before jumping into Double King etc.
I discovered him through the video for SOURCE, which is also a pretty save introduction.

I have been a fan for years. The music videos he has made are great. Egg and Source are a lot of fun. The Elephants Garden is just awesome.
