As any Bob Dylan could tell you, he is not to be trusted. Especially not in matters of love.
That point gets proven in this film noir homage that's as retro, and unexpected, as this cover of "The Night We Called It a Day" off his Frank Sinatra tribute album, Shadows In The Night.
Just in time for Awards season, director Isaac Rentz revamps his "Hero" video with footage from the celebrated film Boyhood, for which this song serves as the theme song.
Best use of an ice cream truck in a video since Billy Corgan peddled sweet confections in the perfect pastel world of "Tonight" for Smashing Pumpkins? I think so. Jack Antonoff and Bleachers take to the roof of a moving truck, all in the name of a girl (and a video, of course).
Paramore's Hayley Williams has played this role for hip-hop before — see Airplanes, B.O.B. — so it's not a surprise to see her ushering an EDM artist into the anthemic stratosphere. While both Zedd and Hayley are in the video, the real stars are the dancers who perform an elaborate choreographed routine in which they realize that a relationship is over.
It ain't easy being a zebra, even here in civilization. "Kangaroo Court" imagines us all as animals living in harmony, so long as the zebras are kept out. You'd think a little dye job could let a zebra masquerade as a horse, but this surreal clip shows that the consequences are dire.
PS: Look for both members of Capital Cities in the video — they also co-directed — in addition to parts played by Glee cast member Darren Criss and actress Shannon Woodward.
