-As odd and foreboding as director John Hillcoat’s 30-second teaser trailers have been, I, for one, still didn’t see this one coming. Playlist notes frames of Nick Cave dressed up as Krishna, P4k lists various Grindermen destroying civilizations with laser beams among the clip’s wonderful WTFery, and Sasha Frere-Jones points to 1977 Japanese horror/comedy Hausu, but you could really take analysis of this 3-minute video in a dozen directions.
It’s like a Rorschach inkblot test; what themes stand out to you in the Grinderman “Heathen Child” video? Beware, though: it’s mildly NSFW at parts and entirely awesome (via Pitchfork).
