In a CGI extravaganza that would likely make both George Lucas AND James Cameron jealous, self-described “Midwest screaming boy band” Motives have released an animated music video for their song “Dead Weight.” That track is from their Mar 2020 release Death Throes.
About the video, the Kevin Burrows has this to say (serious spoiler alert):
This video came about as a joke for sure, but what’s even more funny is that it actually turned out sick. It was made by some random anonymous dude who just really liked the song I guess.. not sure where he got the idea to send us on a cruise ship to space but that’s pretty cool if you ask me.
To be honest, this is probably the best thing I’ve seen all week. Massive kudos to Motives and their unnamed animator for this video.
Motives are now focusing on a new EP for 2022. We’ll keep you in the loop on details of that when they become available.
For now, blow your mind with the video for “Dead Weight,” and visit their Spotify page for more from their discography.
