Puppet masters:
Foxygen get dramatic in the video for ‘Upon A Hill’
Jonathan Rado hangs out with puppets in the clip for the ‘Hang’ cut.
So, how were Foxygen going to top that brilliantly lavish
performance on Conan last month? Well, like this it seems!
For ‘Upon A Hill,’ the latest single from the LA duo’s
latest album ‘Hang,’ Jonathan Rado puts on a cape, walks around in a fashion
that’s best described as “dramatic”, raises a toast and hangs around with
puppets.
Did I say puppets? I meant creepy demon hell spawn. The
irregularly painted dolls have horrible flashing red eyes that makes them seem
more like something out of ‘Five Nights At Freddy’s’ than The Muppets (yes,
even the furry ones). Oh, and Jonathan also has a pot of eyes and looks like he’s
about to eat a brain. There’s a heck of a lot going on in this sub-two minute
burst of Victoriana vaudevillian spectacle.
Watch the video for ‘Upon A Hill’ below.
