"My Heart is King"

This video of Sunset Rubdown's "Black Swan" is pretty much the coolest music video ever... Pitchfork's description of it is spot on - "music video-as-peyote hellscape." Check out the Sebastien Tellier reference (or not...) from about the 1:35 mark, and the coolest bit of the video - the dancing skeleton, from about 4:50 -



This is one of my favourites off the album Dragonslayer and the album has to be one of the best of the year. Video does justice. Still loving the "You were hoping for something a little more realistic/you were hoping for the head of the Queen" Despite the many times I have listened to the album this video has just reminded me that I haven't listened to the album enough - and I never will...
