Check out this ultra extra fooooonky remix of ‘Baby‘. The phenomenal handclap band remixed by Architec.

NYC’s own The Phenomenal Handclap Band recently debuted their video for “Baby” on Stereogum. Likened to a Dario Argento film, this trippy, color-saturated, and beautifully dark video is directed by Steven Agnew, formerly of The Futureheads‘ “Walking Backwards” video fame.

Band member Sean Marquand said about the filming of the video, “we went upstate to our friend Paddy’s house, which was incredible, but the surreal serial killer aspect colored everyone’s mood. Even when we weren’t filming, there seemed to be someone sneaking up on us in the forest. The video reflects some of the highs and lows of our weekend. There’s kinship and celebration there but there’s also an underlying paranoia attached to being at such a remote location.”
