Courtney Barnett has shared the music video for “Dead Fox” off of her new album Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit.
The animated video stars a large-eyed, cigarette-smoking fox driving recklessly down a road and mowing down several humans, with appearances from other animals such as a shark, a kangaroo, an echidna, as well as a cartoon version of Barnett herself.
The video was directed by Rory Kerr and Paul Ruttledg, who said of the clip:
“We liked how politically loaded and conversational the lyrics are. We wanted the animation to have a stylistic and organic look, hence most of the drawings were done on paper rather than digitally. To further complement the lyrics, we thought it would be funny to have the animals in the video look as cynical as possible, as if they’d had enough with how humans are treating them.”
