Panda Bear: "Take Pills" (Video)

4:31 p.m. · March 24, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

It's impossible to fault this video for being absolutely bizarre, because no one can pretend that a simple video that showed say, a bunch of attractive twenty-somethings popping amphetamines, would've been remotely appropriate for Panda Bear's tripped-out, joyous Person Pitch offering, "Take Pills." So, you need an absurdist, surreal video clip that accurately visualizes the compelling, aesthetic wreck of a Panda Bear song? Gang Gang Dance's Brian DeGraw to the rescue with a clip composed of static, indeterminate footage, funky kaleidoscope imagery, shots of Noah Lennox, and of course, pills.
