On the latest Majical Cloudz music video, insects are the centerpiece on "Bugs Don't Buzz", so if you suffer from entomophobia, you've been warned. Frontman Devon Welsh also forewarns the listeners with the opening line: "The cheesiest songs all end with a smile. This one won't end with a smile..." With the aid of director Gordon von Steiner, the Montreal-based duo presents a rather moribund yet vindicable vision - of life, existence, death. Disturbing, grotesque, and exquisitely beautiful at the same time, "Bugs Don't Buzz" is not for the fleeting nor the faint.
"Bugs Don't Buzz" is from their latest album, Impersonator, via Matador Records.
