Interpol Release Surreal My Desire Video
. The band teams with director Markus Lundqvist, who has helmed some dark videos for major divas (Madonna's banned "Girl Gone Wild," Lady Gaga's much awarded "Paparazzi" and Beyonc�'s face-off with the camera in "1+1″). Here he does incorporate moments of technical and special effects expertise, but the focus is on a group of very Twin Peaks-ian characters. The video opens in a red entryway, a clear nod to director David Lynch's Twin Peaks aesthetic, and opens into a biker bar populated by the sort of full-bearded, up-to-no-good types that likely only exist in the imagination (or Barstow, Calif.). Interpol are the seamy bar band, while singer Paul Banks mimes along to lyrics meant to offer us the inner narrative of a room full of no-good men. A Laura Palmer-sort is introduced through Polaroid photos, clearly missing and desired. Things take a turn for the Lundqvist-ian when a cockroach crawls from one of the photos, turning from two-dimensional into three. Though the video offers and emotional climax, there is no resolution. Only the manifestation of the surreal tricks the mind plays on itself. Watch the video here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
