Human Highway's Trippy Video

Human Highway have unveiled the video for "The Sound" from last year's Moody Motorcycle.

The clip was directed by Olivier Groulx (Arcade Fire) and features computer animated versions of Islands frontman Nick Thorburn and Jim Guthrie's faces floating amongst various coloured shapes. It gives the song quite a creepy spin and explains Thorburn's Twitter icon.

An interactive version of the video can be found here. Fans can drag parts of Thorburn and Guthrie's faces around the page to change the volume and locations of the song's sounds. We're now very, very creeped out.

Here's the video:

Human Highway play Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern on March 13 at 11:10 p.m. as part of the annual CHARTattack/Horseshoe/Canadian Music Week showcase.
