Inspired by Kubrick's Space Odyssey, this animated epic adventure begins at the dawn of humanity and into the future, where 2 hapless musicians are sent into deep space to answer the call of the Monolith and find the meaning of life.
The band listed Radiohead's Paranoid Android as a reference for how they wanted this video to feel when combined with the music. Their song "Necessary Evil" is driving and melancholic, and the goal was to juxtapose that with a colorful and epic satirical take on billionaires buying their way to space. Combine that with some of our favorite sci-fi as inspiration and the result is a humorous commentary on technology, progress, and human nature.
