Alcohol drinkers beware: I See Stars’ music video for “Murder Mitten” will sober you up (see video below). The Michigan boys never fail to deliver
intense and engaging music videos, and this one is no exception. They incorporate messages with these videos
instead of focusing on flashy and ostentatious aesthetics, which I give them
much respect for.
When I saw
I See Stars on Halloween, Devin introduced “Murder Mitten” with a little bit of
a personal background about him and Andrew Oliver’s mother being an
alcoholic. “Murder Mitten” focuses on
the repercussions of their mother’s addiction by the interweaving of home video
footage of them as kids and camera cuts of their mother drinking and losing
sight of what’s important. It’s an emotionally
driven video that will leave you struck by the end. Everything happens so fast that you barely
have time to process everything. Essentially,
the video puts your life into perspective for a moment because at the end of
the video, after witnessing an intense rush of emotion, Devin and Andrew leave
a post-script message that inspires hope for everything we do, which is a nice
ending sentiment.
