New places are good...

... but sometimes, new videos aren't.  This one was confusing and really, really backwards.  With the vocals, I expected The Smiths, or at the lower end, The Cure.  With the name of the band, I expected somewhere close to pop punk, or else, rockabilly.  I was shut out on all expectations.

It's not to say I didn't like it.  I actually liked the sound.  The video was confusing and offputing as shit.  I'd rather think that this was a fan-fiction video than something that the band actually paid for:  This seriously killed the vision and the import of the lyrics.  Possibly, there may be something out of pentecostal imagery can be gleaned from scuba gear I may be missing, but I don't think so. 

Anyway, this was fun.  Surfer Blood, with  Demon Dance.  Just don't watch the video.  Guh.
