Hot Chip – I Feel Better Music Video

If Hot Chip was meaning to pull the wool over our eyes with thisvideo, the first minute of it certainly does the trick. Autotune? Boy band stylings? I seriously had to reconsider whether or not this was the same Hot Chip I’ve known and loved. Halfway through, it is revealed that yes, apparently this is that same Hot Chip. With an alien cancerific outpatient zapping boy band members to oblivion via mouth lasers — and then with a floating head zapping them to oblivion with eye lasers — this video is pretty unexpectedly entertaining.

Much of their work unifies their metaphysical interests with their belief that art can positively transform the self and society. They are the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, Interim Managing Editor of South Seattle Emerald, and Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission.

Reckless Spirits (2022) is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy for a bleak new era, in anticipation of a feature-length project.

Vee is passionate about cultural space, the environment, and finding ways to covertly and overtly disrupt oppressive structures.
