You may recall Spike Jonze’ video for Fatboy Slim’s ‘Weapon of Choice’ featuring Chistopher Walken.
This one has a similarly spacious interior set, subtle camerawork and a rather excellent original track by Sam Spiegel & Ape Drums feat. Assassin – Mutant Brain.
Full screen and volume up highly recommended.
