Made up of a series of manic, breakneck dolly shots that match the manic, breakneck pace of the track, Vampire Weekend's "Cousins" is the perfect marriage of music video and song. It's primitive, punk, and a total gas.
After looking at behind-the-scenes footage and then giving you a sneek peak, we're finally ready to deliver the whole package. Directed by Garth Jennings--who was responsible for VW's "A-Punk" as well as Beck's "Hell Yes" -- "Cousins" heavily references Bob Dylan's seminal "Subterranean Homesick Blues" promo film, while keeping VW's inimitable humor and style intact.
