Miike Snow makes an impressive… looking video

Not only can I not stop listening to Miike Snow’s self titled debut, but the video for “Burial” is simply beautiful to watch. However it’s not an extraordinarily good fit to the music and the adjustments on the audio levels to coordinate with the scenes take away from the track. Not to mention the content of the video has nothing to do with a single lyric. Nevertheless, directors Daniel Wirtberg & Jonas Rudström have a keen seen of cinematography and it is a rather enjoyable watch.

Don’t miss Miike Snow this September when they play 2 Mercury Lounge gigs on the 15th and 16th with Jack Penate.
