Haim release celeb-studded, chat show-themed new music video

This is great! Haim have actually had a really great back catalogue of videos so far, proving to everyone that this medium is still mega-important as to how a band is seen (Metronomy also do this well). Now I may not recognise many (any) of the trendy music names that star in this video, but what I do know a lot about is chat shows. The whole video is a pastiche of ubiquitous telly fodder like Jerry Springer, Jeremy Kyle and Oprah – the gross chairs, beige set-design and on-screen graphics that remind you of Saved by the Bell that we all know and love.

What makes this music video different from real chat shows is that this one is chock full of kewl celebs including A$AP Ferg, Grimes, Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer, Ke$ha, Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend and most excitingly, Haim’s actual parents! I usually stand by the idea that if a music video looks like it was a total hoot to make then it’s probably pretty good – which makes this pretty near perfect.
