In the late ’60s, the Beatles released Yellow Submarine, a trippy animation interlaced with many of their most popular songs. In the spirit of the Fab Four’s psychedelic masterpiece comes “Unknown Faces At Father James Park,” the first single from the Phenomenal Handclap Band‘s new album, Form And Control (Tummy Touch). The video, featuring children abusing what seems to be cough syrup, draws unabashedly from the ’70s, particularly due to the grainy quality of the film used to record it. Surprisingly, “Unknown Faces” tells a coherent, even exciting story, doing merit to the music video as a form of art. Form And Control is out February 14. Watch “Unknown Faces” below.
