Video: Miike Snow – “The Wave”

Screen shot 2012 03 14 at 19.41.03 Video: Miike Snow   The Wave

You thought Miike Snow’s video for “Paddling Out” was weird did you? Well take a look at this offering from the Swedish trio, featuring some sort of disaster, dead children, line dancing cops, and a weird news anchor man. This is actually a continuation (of sorts) of the “Paddling Out” visual, as it features the same guy with the reconstructed face, but if anyone can explain a thread of a story running between the two videos, hit the comments section up and prove your mental superiority.

Oh, and the track itself? Well it’s lyrically and musically more downbeat than “Paddling Out”, but retains a brain invadingly catchy melody that is present in so many Miike Snow tracks.

Miike Snow – The Wave Lyrics

    The flying space house from the last video crash lands in some podunk town, causing an explosion that kills a playground full of people. The video documents the subsequent police investigation and news report, as well as the plethora of escaped mutant dancers with Cher haircuts as they break free and set off on what is sure to be some sort of dance-murder rampage.

    So didn’t the first video end with that house hitting the ground? I am curious to spend a day in the mind of whoever created these videos…although I feel like it could be like Inception and you could go too deep and get lost, not a place I want to get lost

    Yeah, after that house crashed, the “pefect humans” ran to the crime scene, did their little yodel, an made the police officers dance. Just like when the inital guy put on the shoes, he was made to dance. I’m sure there’ll be another video soon explaining either the kids deaths or the continuation of the dancers.
