VIDEO: Destroyer - "Kaputt"

As previously reported, Destroyer is set to release Kaputt on January 25. We've already heard Kaputt cut "Chinatown," and now we have a video for the title track. Women in bathing suits, '80s smooth pop/jazz, old man crawling through desert sand, and what looks like a young John Hodgman -- all the ingredients for an intriguing video. It tackles temptation, illusion, life and death -- among other things. I'm going to go ahead and say that the whale is a metaphor. I'm also going to go ahead and say this video is thought-provoking and beautiful.
