Grizzly Bear: "Two Weeks"

Patrick Daughters is apparently a big deal... he's directed videos for Feist, The Shins, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. He's also responsible for creating one of the creepiest videos I've seen in a long time with Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks." The facial movements of the plasticized band members are slowed down and emphasized as light begins to emit and burst forth from their heads as the song climaxes. They're at church, so maybe it's the word of God, or maybe their chamber-like harmonies are angelic (although I'm not sure that would make their heads explode)... or maybe it's just an interesting visual concept. In any case, prepare to be creeped out.
