Modest Mouse's single "Lampshades of Fire" sounds fairly standard issue for the band, but the same can't be said for the very bizarre accompanying music video.

The clip shows Modest Mouse playing the boom-thwacking indie anthem at a packed house party. This is intercut with wild footage that shows lots of fire and small explosions, folks in spooky costumes, splashed drinks, and an appearance from actress Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, Orange Is the New Back).

The bizarre video was directed by Jorge Torres-Torres. Watch it below.

Modest Mouse's long-awaited album Strangers to Ourselves is out now through Glacial Pace.
