Do you ever have a really shitty day and think to yourself, "well life is a constant stream of existential paralysis. I might as well physically paralyze myself with a giant box of greasy chinese food." It seems like a great idea, the tasty feeling of grease hitting your stomach would be guaranteed to make things a little bit better. After waiting over an hour for your food to come, and deciding against being a nuisance and calling the place, your food arrives! Except you ordered from the wrong place and its really stale and awful. At least you can be assured you're not dragged into a chow mein hellscape like in Fort Lean's new video for "Might've Misheard."Fort Lean is a group out of Brooklyn, NY that play The band mixes together traditional rock elements with moody, crunchy synthesizers to make hyper-engaging rock music. Their debut record Quiet Day comes out this October 2, and is sure to be as fun and rad as everything that's been released thus far. The band seemed to ask the question "how can we make the music even more engaging?" They've done so releasing a super bizarre music video directed by Mike Anderson, Ryan Dickie, and Abby Horton that is equal measures really beautiful, and what-the-fuck-ness. The video for "Might've Misheard" is a crazy work of art, featuring a killer box of chow mein that becomes a giant, strange monster. The video goes into a mix of live-action with sections of clay-mation, where the hero of the video becomes a noodley monster herself. The band's frontman, Keenan Mitchell says this about the video?"This is a song about trying to navigate the sometimes treacherous terrain of other people's home turf; it's much like this video, if the other people were ghouls who want to drag you down into hellworld and wear your head."Check out the video below, and pre-order your copy of the record on iTunes and on physical media.
