Drugs.
Yes, drugs. They are everywhere: at the pharmacy, in your
food, at school, on the television and even in your music. Drugs are an inevitable factor
in life, but it is up to you whether to participate or not.
My Morning Jacket encourages listeners to get it “Outta My
System” in their new drug fuelled video. And when I say drug fuelled, I mean I
feel like my brain is in another dimension after watching it, really.
“Outta My System,” which was featured in their 2011 album, Circuital, stars an animated Jim James,
the band’s front man, in what appears to be a fashionable replica of Nicki
Minaj’s fuzzy boots. James travels through an animated extra-terrestrial dimension,
meeting one-eyed owls, skulls and even meat grinders floating in space. Most
impressive is Zach Galifianakis as the powerful wizard in the trippy cartoon
world.
The ode is peaceful and dreamy, urging that James had to “learn
to know how it feels, but that it ain’t real.”
James Frost, who has also worked with Radiohead and OK GO,
directed the video. Check it out below, and make sure not to float off too far
while viewing.
