Strange and trippy are two words that have been stapled to the forehead of Sunset Rubdown for most of their musical lifespan and their newest video for 'Dragonslayer' track Black Swan doesn't disappoint in openly reinforcing and reveling in those very two adjectives.

Manic, screeching guitar chords are flung dissonantly over tumbling percussions as frontman and main-vocalist Spencer Krug wails over the top, morphing a giant ball of rough and rocky psychedelia big enough to fill a stadium but experimental enough to send the masses running.

Then comes the visual counterpart.

Skeletons making stabbing motions, faceless naked women, ink-blots that make no sense, distant hazy glows and a ton of other tiny, freaky subtleties do nothing but compliment the blissful insanity that Black Swan creates within its near seven-minute duration.
