Bizarre Electronic Group Definitely Not Aliens Share Suspiciously Alien-Like Music Video For “Rub Hands Together”
Electronic group Definitely Not Aliens are your average music group “of regular people who met while buying food at a store and arguing about politics”, they claim. Disguised under the Canadian flag, the group of so-called humans craft together interstellar production with hook-driven melodies and punchy dance-pop energy. On their new single “Rub Hands Together”, the suspicions of their true origins come alive through its weird, “Interdimensional Cable”-style music video, chock-full of hyper-edited stock footage.
“If you’ve never been on a stock footage site, let me tell you, there are so many very ridiculous videos on there. There were literally dozens of videos of cops dancing… So, that’s where the video starts…. The video was basically just guided by the ridiculousness of stock footage”.
Nevertheless, the track itself is wildly fun and entertaining, and does not hold back on groove, melody, and funky ties to hip-hop. Jumping between styles, hints of Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Pharrell, and even Tyler the Creator come through.
