The Flaming Lips’s video for “The Sparrow Looks Up at the Machine” works nicely alongside the “Watching The Planets” and “Powerless” clips. It has elements of bondage and torture (and, monkeys) like the latter, and a giant (though now fur-covered) vagina like the former. There’s no nudity in this clip, though the main subject’s duct taped breasts are barely covered. The clip was directed by Wayne Coyne and Flaming Lips graphics/video guy George Salisbury, who are creating some sort of loose narrative here, so there are probably more Embryonic videos in the works.
