Flatbush Zombies – “Bounce” Video
Grimy Brooklyn drug-rap group Flatbush Zombies will release the new album 3001: A Laced Odyssey next month, and last week, they shared the skittering single “Bounce.” But Flatbush Zombies singles often seem, more than anything else, like excuses for their generally-excellent videos, and “Bounce” is no exception. Directors Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman did everything they could to make the clip look like an old ’70s grindhouse movie, and the clip involves a strip-club crime spree, a crooked cop, a championship pitfight, and a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it. It is raw, nasty, narratively coherent, and just slightly NSFW. Check it out below, via Pitchfork.
3001: A Laced Odyssey is out 3/11 on the group’s own The Glorious Dead Records.
