Video: MGMT, “Electric Feel”

If you’re going to go to the trouble of being rave hobbits, as MGMT does in their new video directed by Partizan’s Ray Tintori, you might as well turn it into an orgy of digital body paint dipped from a punctured moon, a cartoon bat carrying Frankenstein’s head in its mouth, chicken masks, flying motorcycles, and of course, The Rock-afire Explosion. This is the second version of “Electric Feel” made by Tintori with the band, the first of which was an interactive choose your own adventure that is still available for download here.
