Never ones to ignore the cries of the people, the video for "Cut To The Chase" by Brooklyn indie-poppers Fort Lean serves as a very important cautionary tale for how things can wrong on a lovely karaoke date. Like, drastically, demonically wrong.
"The video shows what happens if you're on a date, and you skimp on your Chinese food budget," says singer/guitarist Keenan Mitchell. "Demons come out to haunt your soul, torture your mind, ravage your body, and wear your head as a codpiece."
Directed by Mike Anderson, it's the first video from their upcoming album Quiet Day, which will be released on October 2nd via ooh la la Records. As ambitiously weird as the clip is, it's really just the start. Fort Lean plan to make "make one larger, layered narrative" that will encompass all of the tracks on Quiet, says Mitchell, with "a few related baby-stories inside one big mother-story." We may never sleep well again!
