The Strokes Get Psychedelic in Wild Clip

In their previous video for “Under Cover of Darkness,” from their killer comeback album Angles, the Strokes dressed up and went to the opera. But they’re in a goofy, psychedelic mood for their latest video “Taken for a Fool,” which debuted today. Check it out here.

The clip is a feast for the eyes: It looks like the bandmembers, who rock out alongside digital replications of themselves, have been placed in a 1980s holographic video game,as cameras swirl in a dizzying circle.Frontman Julian Casablancas,who’s typically stoic and unanimated on stage, looks to be having a total blast. Watch him beam from ear-to-ear (and awkwardly pose high school prom-photo-style with bassist Nikolai Fraiture) towards the video’s end.
