[Watch] Miike Snow - "Paddling Out" (Official Video)

Miike Snow are fully back and today they continue the promo for their upcoming LP, Happy To You, in the form of a video for their great comeback track, "Paddling Out". The video sees some rather strange happenings in outer space and a man dancing his problems away after he randomly awakes on the floor of his home. Apply some shoes and he becomes the master of dance, It's like that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa gets the magic tap-dance shoes but in real life and mixed in with some other weird and wonderful things for your eyes to soak in. It's a lot to explain in one go so just sit back and enjoy.

Happy To You hits stores on March 27th via Downtown Records/Universal Republic.
