Cage The Elephant and Beck Sync Up in New “Night Running” Video
Photo by Citizen Kane WayneCage The Elephant have uploaded the video for their Beck-collaborative track “Night Running” off their latest album Social Cues.
The video’s director Jennifer Juniper Stratford said of the song’s glitchy, groovy visual:
For “Night Running,” I wanted to create a realm where a super computer that hosts a simulation program creates a series artificial worlds. While Beck would appear to live within the software as a master control, Matt would be transported to different worlds and new identities leaving him to question what is real.
