Andrew VanWyngarden
Directed by Nathaniel Axel, in this music video we follow MGMT´s members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser play characters with varying dynamics that represent different aspects of the band; the first one playing a vampire haunted by beauty, while the work-driven Goldwasser wants peace and quiet. They're living in a haunted mansion, and the music video captures what happens when people get caught between the emotional poles.
In this retelling of the classic tale, Aladdin is an out of work indie-rock singer living in a video-game-world ruled by a perverted technology-obsessed Sultan.
