YEASAYER UNLEASH NEW VIDEO FOR O.N.E
March 11, 2010
“O.N.E.” is accompanied by another rather fabulous futuristic video – directed once again by Radical Friend (aka Kirby McClure and Julia Grigorian) who created the mind-melting “Ambling Alp”. The post-apocalyptic setting of LA’s surrounding industrial wasteland provided the inspiration needed to helm Yeasayer’s provocative performance. The gameboard is based on actual charts and diagrams that represent the psychological warfare in which these otherworldly club kids engage.
