\"Bastille\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTorn Apart<\/a><\/strong>\u201d is only a single release from a mixtape and a very good one at that, yet mega indie-pop outfit Bastille<\/a><\/strong> haven\u2019t skimped out with regard to the video, oh no they haven\u2019t!, they have sought out weirdly creative director Keith Schofield<\/strong> known for his utter brilliance and outlandish conceptional visions that created Duck Sauce\u2019s<\/strong> strangely disturbing yet equally amusing \u201cBig Bad Wolf<\/a><\/strong>\u201d video a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

The Grades<\/a><\/strong> assisted lead track off of mixtape VS.\u2018Others peoples Heartache Part III\u2019<\/strong>, receives an equally freaky video treatment upon the preface and defining aim being that love is love. <\/p>\n

Like King Of Pop Michael Jackson<\/strong> went one up from Godley and Creme\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Cry<\/a><\/strong>‘ video with a sequence of face morphing effects for \u201cBlack Or White<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, Schofield<\/strong> takes up the baton of facial and body morphing effects, even reaching out to alien species for good measure.<\/p>\n

Once you get over the initial WTF it all becomes really quite cool. <\/p>\n

My absolute favourite bit right now is when some guys face morphs into what you\u2019re made to think is a butt crack but actually turns out to be a leg. Told you it was crazy shit!<\/p>\n

On it\u2019s own merit as a stand alone track \u201cTorn Apart<\/strong>\u201d creates a high impact. Whether you like or not this bizarre video only serves to make it even the more highly memorable. <\/p>\n
