Taking inspiration from mystical traditions, surrealist films, and the dramatic and mundane landscapes of the band\u2019s hometown Saskatoon, director Craig Range presents a truly bizarre take on life, death, reincarnation and the recreational use of power tools. The band is draped in weirdness throughout the video, which features a funeral at an industrial site, a hallucinatory game of musical chairs and a very hairy altar boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly had no idea what was going on most of time,\u201d singer and guitarist Tyson McShane says. \u201cI wasn\u2019t sure if Craig had a plan or if he was just making things up as we went along, using the opportunity to make us do ridiculous things on video.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Burnt Black Cars’ was inspired by a series of photographs McShane\u2019s father took while living in Paris in May 1968 during the city\u2019s infamous period of civil unrest and protests. The elder McShane\u2019s time in the Latin Quarter came with a front-row seat to a seminal moment in history. He woke up every day and stepped out his front door to see artists, philosophers and students clashing with the police, cars being set on fire and tear gas flying through the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe songs on ‘Burnt Black Cars’ take inspiration from the events of May \u201868, and from my dad\u2019s stories about it,\u201d McShane says, \u201cbut they\u2019re more about the way conflict and societal struggle are an omnipresent backdrop to modern life, and about the normal, human moments that still manage to shine through.\u201d<\/p>\n
