Royksopp Invades Earth


Happy Up Here from Röyksopp on Vimeo.

I don’t usually post music (there are other, wiser PopTenners manning that department) but this falls into my area of expertise. Give it ’til the one minute mark to see why.

I can’t think of another video that manages to be both infectiously happy and apocalyptic. I dare you not to walk with a bounce in your step as you imagine those flashing bulbs making craters.

As an added bonus, looking up this song I discovered that Royksopp are fellow listmakers. Here’s one from their side of the looking glass: the top five most villanous movie names.

(Thanks to Asher, game engineering wunderkind and keeper of a damn trippy homepage, for the find.)

    Super cool video. I hope when we have to battle the aliens it is more like that than Independence Day.

    RIDICULOUSLY awesome. I am trying to figure out how they made this little movie. It’s so well done. Really amazing look and vibe. I wonder if Kraus can make something like this for me?
