Basement Jaxx: "Feeling's Gone" (ft. Sam Sparro) (Video)

8:02 p.m. · August 28, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

Sam Sparro is an astronaut crusing the cosmos in what looks like a busted space jalopy (perhaps a concept lifted form this?). His ship is hit by an asteroid, but Sparro is fortunate enough to land in some sort of intergalactic disco, where Basement Jaxx and company pump out the jams. Unfortunately, Sparro's space Jalopy finds him, retrieves him via tractor beam, and he is wrested away from the jaws of the Basment Jaxx groove machine. By the way, everyone in this video has wee puppet bodies that look wholly unsuitable for the task of supporting their giant human heads. Boy, if there's a group whose videos don't care about selling the album at all, it would appear to be Basement Jaxx.

Scars is out Oct. 13 on XL.
