New Gnarls Barkley video and backstory
John Paul sez, "My sister Wendy went to Jamaica to make a music video for Gnarls Barkley. I've always found it fascinating how she listens to songs and just fantasizes about what imagery or story goes with the music, and then struggles to make the video happen in an incredibly short time frame and on a tight budget. This video is maybe her finest. The imagery comes out of her head, partly inspired by a trip we made to Africa, partly inspired by Jamaican dance hall glory.
"Filming in Jamaica is worth it, and the dancers are not the only amazing Jamaicans behind the video. The local crew worked themselves silly to make this happen." Link (Thanks, John Paul!)
