music video monday ~ 13

I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

For the 13th video – lucky number 13 – I figured I'd lean into something darker, something on the verge of gothic. MGMT delivered such fare in late-2017 with the "Little Dark Age" video, a video I did not expect from MGMT at the time. I find the visuals interesting, and quite comical.

Giddy with delight, seeing what's to come / The image of the dead, dead ends in my mind

Oh-oh, forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain

The cut to the above green face on the "oh-oh" lyric and the crack of the whip on beat later in the video seal it for me: they're even having fun. Maybe that's the point of creation. Hmm... I'm gonna go mull on that.
