I want to apologize right away for this edition of Twisted Music Video Of The Week. Usually I bring something gory or visually surreal that has a strong metal or electronic track behind it. It’s meant to pump you all up for the weekend, get you hyped to have fun after a long week. But not this time.
For this edition, I’m bringing you the video for Sigur Rós‘ “Untitled”, which comes from their 2002 album (). Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the video takes place in a dystopian future, one where black ash falls from a red sky. The focus of the video is upon several schoolchildren who play in the ash but are forced to wear gas masks to protect themselves from the harmful, noxious air.
It’s a visually gorgeous video but it’s also ultimately heartbreaking. You have been warned.
