Phantogram has released the visuals to their single "You Don't Get Me High Anymore" off their upcoming project Three. The simultaneously ethereal and eerie video was shot in Salton Sea, California and directed by Grant Singer. The visuals cut between apocalyptic scenes of water rising to massive tsunami levels, the smashing of walls with an axe, and lots of leather. Nonetheless it's a seductive excursion into their music against the beautiful backdrop of California. But instead of me explaining the visuals, take it from the words of Phantogram. Speaking to Fader they said:
Peep the visuals for "You Don’t Get Me High Anymore" below. Their album Three will be released on October 14th. You can preorder it on iTunes here.
"You Don't Get Me High Anymore" is about the loneliness in superficial relationships and that feeling of not being able to find happiness in places that were once so easy to come across. The desolation in Bombay Beach represents that feeling really well. The area was once a promising vacation spot before the droughts and now it's a ghost town. We Were excited that Grant picked that spot, he understood the aesthetic of the song right off the bat and ran with it."
