Soko

Ariel Pink made some enemies last year with his controversial interview comments, but evidently he's still buddies with French singer Soko, since he made a guest appearance on her new album My Dreams Dictate My Reality. Their collaborative track "Lovetrap" has now got a video.

The song is a dreamy, quirky pop ditty that bears Pink's distinctive stamp, and Soko makes reference to one of her collaborator's songs when she sings, "'Kinski Assassin' blew a hole in my chest."

In the accompanying video, Soko skulks around town chain-smoking and acting erratically in what's possibly meant to be an over-the-top impression of Pink. This leads her to a Soko concert where she has a surreal conversation with, well, herself.

Watch the self-directed clip below, and keep your eyes peeled for an appearance from the real Pink.
