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
