Watch: Alt-J – Something Good

Death of a matador...

Alt-J have unveiled the bloody video for their track ‘Something Good’ – watch it below.

Life. Death. Bullfighting. Alt-J don’t do things by halves, and the video for their track ‘Something Good’ is no exception. Featuring the mauling of a matador, the beautifully shot clip spends three minutes musing on the vagaries of existence.

Online now, the clip is rich in colour and dynamics, with even the bloodiest moments (and be warned, there are some in there) having a rich, warm hue.

Check out the clip for ‘Something Good’ below.
