Broken Bells: "October" (Video)

1:48 p.m. · August 12, 2010 · by Erik Ziedses des Plantes

The new Broken Bells video for "October" isn't really a video as much as it is an interactive experience that just so happens to have Broken Bells soundtracking it. As the song plays, you use your mouse to move a long-tailed blue light around the screen, among an environment of mountains, astronauts, and other flying things. When the chorus hits, you're forced into a wormhole of sorts. Oh yeah, the whole thing is in 3-D. Unfortunately, your blue light never runs into a 3-D version of Christina Hendricks (who appeared in the duo's "The Ghost Inside" video), but oh well. The video above acts as a brief tutorial for the interactive clip. You can embark on your own version of it at Broken Bells' official website.

Broken Bells is available now.
