Montreal trip-hoppers Beast have just released the video for "Mr. Hurricane," the first single from their self-titled debut. Check it out here.

The video, directed by Ben Steiger-Levine, explores a house that's overrun with bees, which turn into a crazy creature made entirely out of the insects. The bee guy later gives in to the beats and starts dancing.

The dynamic duo of vocalist Betty Bonifassi and drummer Jean-Phi Goncalves must not have Apiphobia, since they perform inside the infested house in several scenes. In fact, maybe they are bees, as the photo to the left would seem to suggest.
