San Francisco rockers Sanae Yamada and Ripley Johnson, collectively known as Moon Duo, have shared a very cool video for their song "Animal." The video stars pro skateboarder Richie Jackson pulling off skating tricks, but one thing is missing. A skateboard! Watch the video above and you'll see what I'm talking about.
The dark, psych-rock song serves as the perfect soundtrack for Richie's unorthodox adventures as he strolls confidently through town. According to Noisey, the band chose Richie because it was something outside of the norm:
We loved Richie Jackson’s skate videos, the idea of a psychedelic skater, something outside of the norm. We contacted him and he had the idea of doing the world’s first skate video without a skateboard, and we were sold right there
Moon Duo's new album, Shadow of the Sun, will be released on 3/3/2015 via Sacred Bones Records. You can pre-order it on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3) and iTunes.
