Phoenix Release New Visual for ‘trying to Be Cool’ [video]

Pheonix’s new video for the song “Trying To Be Cool” off their album Bankrupt! fulfills the title’s attempt — it’s really fucking cool. It begins normally enough, following an in-studio shoot for a video, but then, somewhere between the baboon close-up and the shot of Thomas Mars’ ridiculous ping-pong skills, everything goes crazy. All of the scenes are non-sequential, but each builds on the energy of the last until finally bursting into a huge choreographed dance party surrounding the band. Watch above and enjoy!
