Shamir Pilots a UFO in His "In For the Kill" Video

Shamir has shared a video for “In for the Kill”, taken from his excellent album Ratchet. Directed by Anthony Sylvester and loosely inspired by the 2009 Balloon Boy hoax, the clip details Shamir’s fantastic voyage in an unidentified flying object that attracts the attention of the entire world. Watch it below via Rookie.

Here’s what Shamir had to say about the song in a press release:

“In For the Kill” is about making sacrifices to do things that make you happy. For me, that’s making and playing music. I had to leave a lot of things back in Vegas in order to do music – family, friends, certain trinkets I collect because I’m a very sentimental person. When you make music, you almost have to disappear and go deep inside yourself so that you can come back and give people something that feels honest to you. “In For the Kill” is a song for me to show that what I’m doing is not an easy thing. It’s something that I have to work hard towards.
