video: Neon Indian – “Step Into the World With Your Pal198X”

‘the pal currently does not support witch house raves’

Videos on Vimeo always seem to download so slowly.

The title of this, with the opening image, had me pretty leery. But I thought, “Well, that last song with the video where he walks around Helsinki was pretty cool. Let’s just wait this one out.” So I tended to my other tabs and waited for the song to start.

Let me save you the trouble: the song doesn’t start. You get four minutes and forty-two seconds of everything that’s wrong with 80′s revival. A terrible comedy routine.

Unless this whole thing is a sort of joke on itself (which is a pretty generous thought), this is a low water mark.

ha, I like the nod to Twin Shadow’s music video for Slow, with the “do you like sports cars?” line.
