NEW RELEASE: Death Cab For Cutie "Crooked Teeth"

Death Cab For Cutie
"Crooked Teeth" (Atlantic)
Rob Schrab, director | Kerri Kleiner & Heidi Herzon, producer | Oil Factory, production co | Description: This extremely charming and playful mixed media video for "Crooked Teeth" stands in stark contrast to the very serious tone of most of the other Directions videos. Disregarding the cuteness factor, however, director/animator Rob Schrab has also keyed into the themes of loneliness and disappointment that have appeared in Death Cab For Cutie's prior videos for this project. In this case, the characters that portray the performing band members — a robot, a dragon and a pirate — have back stories that show how they've all suffered grave disappointment just when they thought their dreams would be answered. -- watch "Crooked Teeth" (through Monday, March 20)
