Imagine an updated, darker version of Gary Numan "Cars" but with the energy and vibe of a classic dance production, and you kind of get a sense of what to expect in what's billed as, "An electronic/sci-fi take on classic Fred Astaire era dance musicals."

twenty one pilots: Car Radio [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

This latest video for the camera-friendly Twenty One Pilots pulls off two tricky feats: 

  1. If you're gonna have a mid-video head shave, you only get one chance to get it right. Unless you can afford to wrap production for it to grow back and try again.
  2. Getting a live audience to stand stock-still and then going into a frenzied human whirlpool

Neither is technically hard, of course, but good luck finding a frontman or fanbase as committed...

Damn, how did I not have Ben Mor on my rotisserie shortlist of MV directors who coulda crushed the Star Wars reboot??
