[darlingofadear]

[PillsburyHoBoy]

[antihero197]

12 people are golden and green

[BrotherBadSeed]

Pretty sweet video, but definately not the best track on the album

[56madmen]

[MegaPurnam]

[Happyrobcafe]

@MegaPurnam I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.

[thomasvanderhoff]

thankyou very much keegan valaika

[anothergunner]

[theMFBH]

Knocking on my door wasn't enough? Now the Mormons appear before my fucking MUSIC VIDEOS?!

[anewbredkilr]

@theMFBH HEAR HEAR

[zimgir5000]

yes

[Pool0fBlood]

Music is our right! We should be able to use any song at any time as long as we don't claim it as ours! Damn you Vevo....go back to hell

[Pool0fBlood]

VEVO SUCKS!!!! Honestly they are claiming rights to songs that were created for the public and for the use of the public! Free Music is our right!

[breeisreallyawesome]

I fucking love this song! :)

[JesuszillaCorp]

Planning on seein them in New Orleans in Feb, very apprioate band to be opening for Murder by Death...if only Tom Waits were there I'd die musicly satisfied.

[ThompsonDr]

Just saw them yesterday in Basel, Switzerland... High Quality Music and very nice Bandmembers...Thanks guys!

[angelonearth21]

 fucking LOVE this band!!!!!

[waterbottle1567]

is it just me or is there not one girl in the video...

[JesuszillaCorp]

@waterbottle1567 you didn't see all the hotties in the yellow dresses...hahaha?

[waterbottle1567]

@JesuszillaCorp no way those are girls, lol i refuse to believe that

[JesuszillaCorp]

@waterbottle1567 of course they are, just lower your standards and assume that just looks like an adams apple

[bizijosh]

@waterbottle1567

It's funny that you mention that the girls look like guys. I believe that the song and the video are based on the artwork of Henry Darger, which usually revolved around The Vivian Girls, who were a bunch of little girls with penises.

[camazotz333]

@bizijosh

Exactly!

[ecumenicalebola]

I want to live in this video.

[weelitlebaby]

singer sounds like roky erickson

[MetalMavrik]

Saw these guys in Austin at Emo's. Picked up a CD on the spot.

[thepanamahat]

came across this in a Burton video - great sound, love it

[111Hodgie907]

epic



[tekkenramone]

Placebo meets mumford & sons

[quinlynnes]

i accidentally pushed on this video.

best accident of my life?

[shiznitshnitzel]

this sounds like battle of evermore... but not...

[Sammythefunkyable]

I ended up here, on this random video, and I must say - man, what a nice surprise;)

[redmafiya1986]

Junx is ILL.

[Ryder005]

<3 tbatb

[Anonymous122131]

hi /mu/



[CaptainMuffinz92]

Kind of reminds me of Mumford & Sons, love it!



[RheAnn51]

I was a Vivian Girl for Halloween 2 years ago!! Love this song and the Darger homage. :)

[VoltageGlitz]

I love this band, this song blows me away. Check out my music channel. Thanks :)

[MrMrdswoods]

man thats a cool car does anyone know what it is?

[IndieMusicFan13]

They're so good. I love this video!

[BrotherBadSeed]

Dream show, O'death, The Builders and the Butchers, Murder by Death.

[Zeetana1]

Niiiiiice, another great song!

[q94sucks]

Saw these guys open for Heartless Bastards in the Canal Club in Richmond. Great

[lilibon]

Exactly what I like! Totally pagan and raw.

[HandsomeDynamite]

Very Nick Cave-ish. Nice.

[MNRization]

If this video confuses you then look up Henry Darger. It's based on his art.

[crandrew1242]

I saw these guys in san fran with portugal the man... they were really good

[EinStriker]

The vocalists voice reminds me a little to Caleb Followill from KoL

[khylate]

@EinStriker Who? I'd like to know more

[EinStriker]

@khylate Caleb from a band called Kings of Leon

[kpharrington]

if you like this and haven't checked out Murder By Death yet, I can't suggest it strongly enough. check them out now.

[fl0nk11]

I really, really dig this song. The vibe sort of puts me in mind of "Country Death Song" by the Violent Femmes. Very dark and intense. First song I've heard in few years that puts chills down my spine.

[kpharrington]

@fl0nk11 yeah. that's EXACTLY what i thought of! good call

[raised0fist]

these cats opened for a band i really like... lets say i liked the builders took the show. its hard not to feel this music. turn it up!!!

[Mylilneedle]

yes

[LetTheBikesOut]

i saw these guys for the first time last night with RXB, they opened with this song. and i immediatly was into them as soon as the music started. great band.

[electrohits4u]

@LetTheBikesOut nice dude i was there to! amazing show i must say..

[jcpurleigh]

does the start of the video remind anyone else of the beginning of inglorious basterds?

[Thekeizer1]

yes but i don't remember the part where the german moved to texas ;)

[feelfree2beunlikeme]

@jcpurleigh totally xD

[SharpieShades]

@jcpurleigh hahaah yep

[JoshLeeLafferty]

@jcpurleigh Totally what they were going for.

[gordonlandrigan]

@jcpurleigh Seems more like "There will be Blood"

[austinsegg]

@jcpurleigh i hated that move it sucked

[MidNightSummer0]

@austinsegg

why

[ModeONvalencia]

brilliant, pure

[hockeykid2024]

Sick Video Cuz --- Austin

[thechilean360]

love this band, saw them in phoenix opening for brand new.

one of my favorite songs but i have to say the video looks god but makes no sense, explain.

[KingKass2929]

I think that the complex symbolism symbolizes batman. And eating disorders. mmmmmyeahp.

[equisxxxxxxx]

how much sense do you want from 5 alaskians that play roots gothic american music?? XD hehe

[ZombieSkillet]

they are playing with rx bandits in early march. i forgot the exact date. at the tempe marque.

[loveloveisa11]

love Portland bands! them, Archeology, Church & Loch Lomond make it for me

[Joesquared3350]

@loveloveisa11 Hell yeah Portland bands kick ass. Don't forget about Blitzen Trapper and The Decemberists.

[Ackreti]

@Joesquared3350, you might be interested in Blind Pilot too.

[GlasgowEoin2k6]

[BattDubb]

saw them open for brand new in dallas they were bad ass

[jlettuce07]

@BattDubb

Same here. That's how learned about them. Great freaking band.

[theswampland]

Great band

[Alfomsea]

WOW

great quality

[GlasgowEoin2k6]

if we asked Colonel Harland Sanders what he thought of this song he would say "good song good song"

[cassieOATH]

i saw them open for manchester orchestra and brand new, but like they are so much better live...

[Shadow12385]

They are great live. I saw them opening for Thrice and Brand New in Tulsa.

[Talkingdvd]

saw em opening for brand new too, and I thought they were better than Brand new

[Shadow12385]

ya I thought so too. But Thrice was my favorite.

[Talkingdvd]

theyre the reason i went to the show ha

[prinzd]

I was at the show too!!! They sounded amazing!!

[Zacchaeus143]

Ah me to. There are quite amazing live.

[rawrRtotehmax]

met these guys, and they are awesome live

[TheKa89]

Saw them back in my hometown at Amanda Palmer's Seattle show awhile back. The greastest show. Ever. They rocked the shit out of us! Love you guys, come back home for another show!!

[Kanzas311]

I just saw them at the House of Blues in Vegas with Manchester Orchestra and Brand New, great show! I had to hear them again, they rocked hard

[cleaningagent101]

not for me :(

[soadind]

good song. seeing them in a bit...

[EstrangedEgg]

love it. too bad i missed them at lolla :(

[zep0107]

its their sense of their passion.

how they make you feel the music.

that takes greatness, thus making this great.

[comedyman112]

i really don't understand how this song could be great....different opinions, different people xD

[HeroesofGrammar]

I don't see how comedyman has got a thumbs down for a perfectly legitimate comment.

[norskwizard]

Stumbled upon this, just great.

[aron3skip]

I also saw them for the first time at that show in Cincinnati and was hooked! I saw them again later in Cincy with Murder by Death and am seeing them again tonight in The Nati at The Mad Hatter. They are so much better live!

[ctolz]

first saw this band with brand new in cincinnati, blew me away, one of the most original acts ive ever seen

[JHE2009]

They played at Cincy? Where the heck was I???
