Synopsis

A bearded, solitary man prepares himself for a day outside and sets off on an ordinary walk. He buys a Spider-Man ice cream and continues through the neighborhood, where an encounter with a peculiar young woman leads him into the orbit of a small, unruly gang. Their bizarre behavior escalates into a comic-book-style confrontation, turning the quiet outing into a surreal episode of humiliation, violence, and revenge. The deadpan presentation contrasts sharply with the song's wistful, reflective mood.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video accompanied "Walk in the Park," a track from Beach House's 2010 album "Teen Dream."
  • "Teen Dream" was issued with a DVD containing a separate music video for every song on the album, making the project unusually visual for its time.
  • The song was reportedly known as "Matter of Time" during an earlier stage of the album's development before receiving its final title.
  • The clip plays like a low-budget, deliberately strange short film, using exaggerated makeup, grotesque physical comedy, and splattery violence instead of conventional performance footage.
  • Production coverage specifically highlighted the video's chest-sandwich gag, monsters, unusual facial hair, and comic-book-style fight scene.
  • The five-minute video was released in July 2010, several months after "Teen Dream" arrived in January of that year.
