There’s nothing like brilliant animation to stir up the music video scene every once in a whole, and the new Arctic Monkeys song, Do I Wanna Know? hits the mark and then some. Directed by David Wilson with animation agency Blinkink, the video begins with a straight white line which vibrates which each thick chord that ripples through it, and grows to a full colour animation complete with racing cars, booty-shaking flag-wielding ladies and and a fish or two. In short, this is the whole shebang. Don’t believe me? Watch it above and find out for yourself!
