Utilizing funky lo-fi effects, the video brings new meaning to low budget sci-fi; clay-like floating orbs abound, and tin foil is king in this distinctly sixth-grade-diorama setting. As supertitles like “target acquired” and “we have an anomaly on the space radar” flash across the screen, band members rock out in low-G. But lest you think this...
