Desaparecidos – “Golden Parachutes” Video

Conor Oberst's activist punk band Desaparecidos released their first album in 13 years, Payola, earlier this year, and today they've shared an animated video for "Golden Parachutes." It was directed by Luke and Joe McGarry, who take us on a journey through history -- the Salem witch trials, the Boston Tea Party, an 1860s New York City protest, the Triangle factory fire, Kent State, and Occupy Wall Street -- as the band members appear in period-appropriate garb and get killed off one by one. Watch below.
