The soulful, dreamy opener to Monsters Of Folk’s self-titled album tackles big spiritual questions, and its official video tries to put this all in perspective. Director/animator Lauri Faggioni begins among the stars and zooms to the cellular level, in a clip reminiscent of Charles and Ray Eames classic Powers Of 10 short film. Of course MOF’s video goes deeper, revealing a whole universe inside us. Wild. Members Jim James, M. Ward, Mike Mogis, and Conor Oberst are likely busy with their other projects, so you don’t get to see them here — a bummer if you were hoping to see what the universe inside James’s beard looked like.

  1. neat video. the song kinda reminds me of Folk Implosion.

  2. got the album and i’m not overly impressed. i wouldn’t mind if the collaboration was a one-off. having all the changes in lead vocals got me a bit dizzy sometimes and the songwriting seems a bit too chart minded…

    what does anyone else think??
