So last night I stumbled upon one of the best videos I've ever seen. I'm generally not super into music videos, but this video just fit the song so perfectly and just takes you to another universe. I'd heard of Los Campesinos before, a group of 7 some young Brits that sound a bit like Architecture In Helsinki mixed with the Go Team with the vocalist from the Streets-or something a little bit in between all of them, but I'd never really looked into them much.
I am very happy I did; I rarely love a song or video the first time I see/hear it. Not only that, but I can definitely see humans as a whole taking the route that the little red people take in this video, i.e. repeatedly blowing themselves up at the peak of their existence. The music is really good too, but that video just expands its value so much more to me. I mean, I'm always up for a good taste of the glockenspiel. See for yourself
Anyways, 6 minutes have never gone by so fast. Be patient, it takes a little time to build up.

ellis!
i have loved los campesinos for a while!
and i agree with your views on the video. i love how the downfall of humanity kinda builds with the interlude as well.
and the outro is great, "we're undeveloped, we're ignorant, we're stupid, but we're happy"
i enjoy the blog
