Video: The War on Drugs “Baby Missiles”

July 08, 2011



The War on Drugs’ new video for “Baby Missiles” is culled and edited from lead singer Adam Granduciel’s collection of Super 8 film footage, spliced together and washed in a color and kaleidoscopic dissolves. It's got the energy of D. A. Pennebaker's Daylight Express, if he'd gone color. The band's forthcoming LP Slave Ambient, out August 16th on Secretly Canadian.
