A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I feel music videos are making a big comeback over the past year or so. There was a long period where labels realized that expensive music videos didn’t necessarily bring in all that much in terms of a return on investment, so they went really cheap, oftentimes even forfeiting a real video for a lyric one. But that’s been changing lately as labels realize that the right video can potentially go viral, which means the spread and reach (ergo: possible sales) is simply unbeatable.
I bring this up because some of the most creative and amazing videos are coming from unlikely sources. Case in point: Carpenter Brut‘s new video for “Turbo Killer”, which was directed by Seth Ickerman.
The video, which you can watch below, is basically the coolest grindhouse sci-fi/horror car chase I can remember seeing and it’s enhanced by the incredibly high production value. If you watch one video this year, make it “Turbo Killer”.
“Turbo Killer” comes from the Carpenter Brut album Trilogy, which you can snag via iTunes.
