MGMT

"Cool Song No. 2" (video)

BY Josiah HughesPublished Sep 17, 2013

Psych pop duo MGMT have shared another video from their recent self-titled album, this time focusing in on "Cool Song No. 2."

The clip, which was directed by Isaiah Seret and filmed by Bradford Young, is a fairly surreal tale focusing in on a menacing, violent drug dealer played by Michael K. Williams (of The Wire and Boardwalk Empire fame). The clip's pretty out there, but it involved plenty of plants, drugs, and a dude that turns into a plant-man hybrid.

Check out the weird clip for "Cool Song No. 2" below.
