1. Friendly Fires 'Skeleton Boy' by Clemens Habicht
10 months ago
Edgy, monochromatic music video for Friendly Fires, directed by Clemens Habicht. The band were transformed into Skeleton Boys as a nod to the track’s title, with the aid of double-sided sticky tape, fans and trillions of bean bag balls.

    Fresh idea, but, I pity the PA who cleaned up the afterbang from this one. You bean bag bashing bastards got some bounce though.

    Why is this version of the song different from the album? It's a bit better and I can't find it anywhere else.

  • An excellent, clean execution of a simple, creative visual concept. I love it.

    Please tell me there's a "making of" video somewhere or at least in the works. Would love to see it.
