Watch Alt-J’s New Iggy Pop-Narrated “In Cold Blood” Video

Alt-J have enlisted Iggy Pop to narrate their new video for “In Cold Blood.” The Casper Balslev-directed clip, which dramatizes a day in the life of a wood mouse, begins with Iggy outlining the travails of wood mouse life. “It must be cautious,” he warns. “Enemies are everywhere.” He concludes the video: “The humble wood mouse, if it survives, it will be because of a remarkable skill to adapt to almost any new environment on its way to the future. And the future indeed looks bright.” Watch it below. Last month, Alt-J played the track with the Roots on “Fallon”—check out the performance here. 

Of the video, Alt-J said in a press release:

We love working with great directors, giving them the creative freedom to interpret our tracks as they wish. It leads to great collaborations, like this new video for In Cold Blood from Casper Balslev. As you are about to find out, a day in the life of a wood mouse can be unexpectedly dangerous… We hope you enjoy it.
