When I hear the term Grizzly Bear, I think of a few things: Large, omnivorous forest denizen, hairy guys fucking, and an awesome psychedelic quartet from Brooklyn. This posting pertains to the latter. Here, at long last, is the wildly anticipated music video for their gorgeous single: Knife.
The video, an enigmatic visual feast, tells a tragic love story between two unlikely wooers: a creepy scientist with a scrotum-wrinkled five-head (that's one more than a forehead) and a candy-dispensing Golgothan shit daemon. They wander through the desert, exploring their love for each other, until the shit daemon blows his Necco Wafer load all over the scientist's chest, which turns into a miniature magical roller coaster. The scientist dies during child birth, leaving the shit daemon to commit suicide by hurling himself into the side of a sand dune. If these two bright-eyed kids can't make it, what chance do we stand??
A brief cameo by the band reminds me that I still think Chris Bear (cute name, totally) is one good lookin' man. Also, some of this footage looks like it could be used in upcoming ads for Elizabeth Taylor's new fragrance (try to come up with something more foul-smelling than White Diamonds. TRY!).
