The Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas teamed up with his latest backing band the Voidz to deliver Tyranny last year, and now they've unveiled an ambitious 13-minute long video for the epic single "Human Sadness."
It opens with a quote from Rumi and introductions to the band members before splicing together vintage-looking footage of the band playing live and a much more dramatic storyline. We see Casablancas sporting a flannel vest and stocking convenience store shelves with soda, as well as a high-speed drag race, and some scantily clad women and prescription drugs thrown in for good measure.
Oh, and there's footage of wars, videogames, and a meteor hurtling towards earth, plus the ensuing destruction of the natural world.
