Unknown Mortal Orchestra Shares “CAN’T KEEP CHECKING MY PHONE” Music Video

Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared their strange music video for “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone.” The video highlights different conditions and diseases. It’s slightly NSFW (there’s a wandering naked woman in the desert) so watch when your boss isn’t looking.

Can’t Keep Checking My Phone is so full of sounds and its lyrics are so elusive so I decided that one idea wouldn’t do the track justice. My approach was to present the multiple ideas as if they were a trading card deck. Trading cards games like Mars attack,have a short description accompanied by illustrations. In this case the deck is about strange occurrences, syndromes or phenomena. – Dimitri Basil, Director
