He once wanted to be a rapper, he grew up on the Pixies and Talking Heads, moved to the UK, wrote an album, toured with Bloc Party, got a record deal, and now here he is with his second music video, which is directed by Eric Wareheim from bizarre, psychedelic, stoner sketch comedy show, Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job.
His first release, I’m a Rope, is an assaultive, altern-y rock track which might connect better with Bloc Party fans. But we cannot get enough of this little piece of 80s-ish pop candy gold, “She’s Got Me Dancin,” the video for which features a middle-aged female bodybuilder nicknamed Muscle Lady, a trio of dancing hippies, and the above pictured beauty in a gold jacket who plays neon drums before showing us his laser-loaded tits. It’s the catchiest thing to come out of the UK since these boys.
