Ledger's Modest Mouse video creepy and cool

| | Comments (0)

The late Heath Ledger's music video for Modest Mouse song "King Rat" debuted on MySpace this week. (watch it here)
Visually, the video is really interesting. The design reminds me of Thom Yorke's "Eraser" album and Monty Python's "Holy Grail" animation.
Word of warning though, the images are pretty disturbing: Slovenly whales manning a fishing boat that's out to catch humans.
The pairing of scurvy knaves hooking terrified sea people and lead singer Isaac Brock's snarl makes for one creepy video. The message is effective though: I'm crossing fish off my menu plans for a while.
