Modest Mouse

These guys just keep hitting it with super unique videos. Check out Modest Mouse's latest, 'The Whale Song', which Isaac Brock said is his favorite off the album. Its the second single released from 'No One's First and You're Next', the first being 'King Rat', the video directed by Heath Ledger in support of whaling off the coast of Australia. Go figure that their second single is titled 'The Whale Song'.

The song is pretty dark, and is about feeling trapped. The video reflects that well with its crazy effect. It starts out with Isaac B drawing with an intricate contraption and adventuring into a crazy animated world where they bring in giant snails, a labrynth and plants playing the drums....bah, just watch it, you'll know what I mean.
