Video for the Easter weekend – Hot Chip’s “I Feel Better”

OK there’s nothing particularly Easter-y about Hot Chip’s magnificent video for I Feel Better – it’s just very close to my heart, having been subjected to Blue (All Rise!) videos during my teenage years (my sister is an unrepentant fan).

So it’s very cathartic to watch four eerily similarly clad and choreographed singers obliterated with lasers. That and I Feel Better is probably the best track off Hot Chip’s One Life Stand. Keep an eye out of Alexis and Felix amongst the crowd before they too meet their ill fate.

Appropriately, I Feel Better was directed by British comedian Peter Serafinowicz, star of Alan Partridge, Shaun of The Dead, Hardware, etc. Peter is particularly renowned for his voice work – he is voicing Paul McCartney in the upcoming Yellow Submarine, provided the voice for Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, and is the ecstasy-inducing Howell Granger in Season 1 of Black Books (skip to 5:55).
