An amazing thing happened the other day, I actually laughed at something Pitchfork wrote.
This one also has dancing cops and TVOTR members’ heads morphing into woodland critters’, but I think we’ll know a real “Golden Age” when science give us a version of this video with better audio quality.
It’s a very subtle dig on Spinner for their lack of quality in their posting of the new TVOTR video and rightfully so. The version of this clip was atrocious, with blown out audio and shitty resolution, but what we’ve come to expect from this digital age. Pitchfork.tv seems to be the only saving grace since they actually care about the quality of the videos they post and also have the power to do something about it.
The video for Golden Age by Petro Papahadjopoulos is a lesson in strange and takes place on two sky top precipices, one housing the band dressed in white with their heads morphing into animal trophies and their bodies into those of spartan warriors. While the other cliff top his home to choreographed dancing police officers that eventually show off some Care Bear powers. I know, sounds crazy and it is. It all eventually leads to rainbows, hearts, and a Voltron-esqe transformation of mythical proportions. Just watch it.
Get it while you can below, or suffer the horror that is AOL’s Spinner.
