Despite the repeated lyric of '(Let the) Right One In,' this video by Phenomenal Handclap Band is not off the soundtrack of a Swedish vampire flick. Moh Azima's video is far too funky for that. There are planet-sized symbols, amazing future-retro (or is it retro-future?) costumes and White Stripes-esque rhythmic cloning - all of which make Phenomenal Handclap Band seem like the house band for a Brooklyn-based UFO cult.
