Receive a lesson in etiquette and manners via Cloud Nothings’ new video for “Internal World.” Entertainment Weekly premiered the video along with an exclusive interview with Dylan Baldi.
“‘Generally with videos, what we try to do is just find someone that we think is gonna make something weird,’ Baldi says. ‘We just want to find someone who’s going to do something that we think will be cool and strange and might not even make sense.’ That led the band to Jonny Look, a filmmaker they knew of from their Cleveland days who has made clips for artists including Cass McCombs and Tim Darcy.
The result is a disorienting, lo-fi instructional video about ‘etiquette and manners education’ sponsored by the ‘Department of Human Being Assimilation’ and the ‘Reptile Assimilation Board.’ Baldi pauses when considering how it relates to the song itself. ‘Someone who’s a lizard might think differently than someone who’s not, I guess,’ he decides, with a laugh.”
“Internal World” is the second single from Cloud Nothings’ forthcoming album, Life Without Sound, out January 27th. Pre-orders are available here:
