The Insects – Trash (Video)

The Insects, Phoenix’s favorite hip-hop band have released their new video “Trash”.  Dark, atmospheric, this claustrophobic grainy black and white video offers a buttoned down simplistic style in line with its anti-consumerist content.  Shades of 1984 show rundown apartments where the band is viewed playing on TV cams giving the impression of a world seen through a mall’s hidden camera, where one tortured soul watches it all and can do nothing to stop it. It makes you feel sick not because of its abrasive strangeness but the sense that you’ve been locked in this very room and don’t know how to get out.
