A very meta Claymation clip for the reliably creative Hot Chip in which our lead protagonist Eleanor has some misfortunes before taking control of everything around her.
A golden rule of music videos is that the actors in the narrative almost never hear the music. Director Saman Kesh wildly subverts that by having actors Martin Starr and Milana Vayntrub (and anyone near them) be tormented by this Hot Chip song mysteriously playing at loud volumes everywhere they go until they reach their breaking point.
Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor is having a hard time dealing with his recent relationship break-up. Or, he's slipped into a time-space vortex. Or, he's losing his mind. Or maybe all of those things...
There are no Mexican sandals in sight here - instead we (naturally) get a light installation from artist Robert Bell as an introduction to Hot Chip's May 2015 album Why Make Sense?
