Modest Mouse have unveiled the video for their latest single "The Ground Walks, With Time In A Box".
Jorge Torres-Torres has directed the clip, which sees frontman Isaac Brock donning a scrap metal crown and cracked-lightbulb sceptre. He;s not the only ruler though, with a variety of battle-worn wannabe colander-wearing royals vying for the same scrap of burnt land.
Just a heads up, it gets unexpectedly gory.
The band's recent comeback album Strangers To Ourselves is out now.
