Nap Eyes made a very funny video for "Click Clack," touring in July

June 29, 2016

Nova Scotia’s Nap Eyes has made a video for “Click Clack” from this year’s terrific Thought Rock Fish Scale. Made with puppeteer Allison Higginsand and director Jordan Minkoff, this video is a whimsical (and very funny) treat, involving frontman Nigel Chapman doing a little scientific research in his spare time. He discovers a microscopic world and then…to say any more would spoil the fun, but “Click Clack” is superior video entertainment, and hopefully the cliffhanger ending means we’re going to get another installment. Fans of dry, absurdist humor, take note. Watch it, and stream the album, below.

Nap Eyes will be on a short East Coast tour soon, including two NYC-area shows: NJ’s WFMU Monty Hall on July 8 with Jacques Le Coque and Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right on July 10 with Yonatan Gat. Tickets for both are on sale now. All dates are listed below.

If you need more puppet videos, try Parquet Courts’ “Human Performance.”
