Is this the sickest video ever?

Simian Mobile Disco look to have carved themselves out a new level of indie infamy with the video for their new single 'Hustler'.

The clip is inspired by controversial videos like the The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' and Aphex Twin's 'Windowlicker', and sends up glamour girl culture with girls in bikinis who mutate into something altogether different.

I love the song and the video. Of course it's quite shocking but Simian hadn't do that for nothing, they want to give a message. That's controversial it's sure.

It's maybe because you don't like that type of music but overall I always like Simian, he made such good songs and great videos.

Yeah, maybe so, but I dont think it will be a huge hit, and imo, if it is, its because of the controversy of the video

Electro/Dance/Techno music have never such big success except in nightclubs or for some TV shows producers. The only ones who had some big successes are Daft Punk and Justice. It's not comparablr to a pop singer.

The Aphex Twin ones were done by Chris Cunningham.

He is one of the best directors out there. Here is some more stuff by him.

When you first see it you won't think it'll be sick, but near the end it's a bit sick!
