New of Montreal Video - "Id Engager"

To bring to life the wet nightmare that is Skeletal Lamping's funky first single, of Montreal left the costumes and live animals onstage and instead turned to animation group SSSR. Directors Marc Reisbig and Hanne Berkaak imagine a drawing board come to life with colorful creatures, aliens, and personified household objects. While we miss Georgie Fruit, Pineapplehead is a fair substitute. It's like Picture Pages for polysexual potheads.

Skeletal Lamping is out on Polyvinyl 10/21. We're giving away a giant batch of limited-edition oM swag in this week's 'Gum Drop.

It's tough when you build your business on musicians. They go south, you got no choice but to be "respectable" about them. Same old story. Put Rolling Stone on the masthead already.
