Video Pick: White Rabbits ‘Percussion Gun’

Posted on 12. Jun, 2009 by refe in VIDEOS

White Rabbits’ aptly named ‘Percussion Gun’ is a clever, well-crafted barrage of tribal rhythms, plunking pianos and raw, melodic vocals. In the video, the stage spins around as if to represent what happens to your head after the three minutes and eight seconds are just about over. The imagery, like the music, has a stark intensity about it and never quite stands still. This is one of the best recent examples of a video that consists of little more than the band performing their song, yet remains engaging and even entertaining throughout. It also does what a great music video should do -- makes you want to see them do it live. Directed by Andrew Droz Palermo.
