Arcade Fire "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"

I know this is a bit late to put up, but I only saw this video just before I went on leave. I'm no music guru so it's difficult to describe both the song (beautiful and melancholic, yet upbeat) and the video for it (Friday Night Lights vs zombie apocalyptic suburbs = epileptic fit inducing dance editing)... but I love this band and the kooky video; so it's a hit for me.

There also appears to be an interactive version of the video where you are called to dance along in front of a webcam - your movements being detected and corresponded with movement by the dancers on screen. Don't worry, if you don't feel like dancing in front of your computer (and being recorded doing it, even though they "promise" that you won't be) you can just use your mouse instead.

Apparently,

"The idea is to affect the pacing of the film with your movements. You are invited to dance in front of your webcam. There is no specific rules, no complicated “minority report” tricks. Just an invitation to move your arms or your butt on the music. The quicker you move, the faster the frames play. You slow down, the caracters in the video slow down. You freeze and the video starts to loop on the beat, creating a new choreography in the choreography. It is also possible to interact with your mouse, in case you don’t have a camera or you want to switch from dancing to clicking."

The video is directed by Vincent Morisset with choreography for the delightful dancing sequences by Dana Gingras.

Have fun, crazy people!
