Synopsis
Great Mountain Fire enter a playful, surreal world where the boundaries between band performance and absurd competition disappear. The musicians face off in bicycle jousts, using oversized foam French fries as makeshift weapons and water bombs as ammunition. Bright, stylized imagery and deadpan performances give the clip a mischievous, offbeat energy, turning a simple band video into a miniature fantasy spectacle. The lighthearted action mirrors the song's buoyant electro-rock feel while emphasizing the group's eccentric visual identity.
