Synopsis
A masked child wanders through Los Angeles carrying out a gleefully destructive mission. Wearing a Predator-style mask and armed with a guitar-smashing impulse, the figure moves through streets and assorted locations, turning instruments into objects of blunt-force catharsis. The rough, grainy images match the track's tense blend of feedback, heavy rhythms and inward-looking unease. Rather than presenting a conventional performance, the video turns punk aggression into a surreal, low-budget ritual of destruction.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was released in August 2011 as a visual companion to KIT's second album, "Invocation," issued by Upset The Rhythm.
- It was shot on Kodak 16mm film, giving the footage a deliberately tactile, unstable look that suits the song's abrasive sound.
- Martin Moody handled the cinematography, while Car Nazzal produced and Stalagmite handled production and editing. David Rodriguez and Steven Andrew Garcia also contributed additional cinematography.
- Upset The Rhythm described the central character as a Predator-masked kid with a guitar-smashing complex, framing the clip as a primal urge to destroy rather than a straightforward narrative.
- A brief appearance by Jim Smith on the telephone was specifically highlighted in the label's announcement of the video.
- The song itself was described by the label as moving from restraint into twisting feedback, lurching chaos and a coldly introspective passage. The video's destructive imagery gives that musical progression a physical counterpart.
