For today’s Music Video Monday, I’ve chosen one from a band that I am currently missing: Modest Mouse, Satellite Skin. This one was released in 2009 from the EP No One’s First, And You’re Next and aside from the other seven songs on the EP we haven’t heard anything new since. It’s a damn shame I tell ye. A damn shame indeed. I got into these guys late in their career, but have relentlessly enjoyed them ever since. I’m not privy to the three year hiatus or even if they’re expecting, but then again I just happened upon them in the first place so who knows? Maybe I'll be surprised with a full length album one day.
But enough of that jive, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty-fucked-up-awesomeness that is the Satellite Skin music video. It’s a trip, like most of their videos, but kick-ass also, like most of their lyrics. For a reason that I can’t quite point my finger on, both this song and video give me hope. For what, I cannot say, but it makes me smile anyway. Plus, it reminds of Cabin In The Woods and as I’m sure you’re aware the Hatch crew is on board to both watch and review this upcoming flick in April so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the video and let me know what you think. Here's to a good week!
That's probably one of the weirdest videos I've seen yet, but pretty cool. Creepy people and those houses or whatever reminded me of the AT-STs from Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care too much for MM when they first came out, except for "Float On", but I find myself appreciating them more these days.
