Portland-by-way-of-New Zealand psych-rockers Unknown Mortal Orchestra have dropped a new video for their great track “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone”, an infectious and funky jam from their recent third album “Multi-Love”. Directed by Dimitri Basil and Cooper Roussel, this cool video is replete with a series of very strange ideas and situations.
“‘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, like Mars Attacks, have a short description accompanied by illustrations. In this case the deck is about strange occurrences, syndromes or phenomena,” says Dimitri Basil.
