Political Animals – Who Want What [Video]

Political Animals’ new video for “Who Want What” is what happens when you take the key elements of any work of art—the music video, in this case—and completely flip them on their head. That’s due to the handiwork of director Shane McLellan, who has previously worked work with Ceschi, I.N.F., as well as the PACT (Political Animals). Here, he captures the New Haven, Conn. four-piece’s genre-bending approach and applies it to film for something reminiscent of the Beastie Boys’ most influential videos.

You watch as front man Sotorios delivers his potent bars while floating through a dark alley, levitating during meditation, and defying the laws of physics. And the same goes for his band mates—bassist Jen, drummer Trenton, and live-sampler DJ Neb—who ignore gravity while performing their blend of grimy Hip-Hop and Funk.
