We shot the video in Twentynine Palms, California at our friends excellent AirBNB that's located right at the edge of the lonely hight desert that goes on for miles....thank you Kathryn Winslow and Jon Rannells for the location!

The inspiration for the Dracula-like character was 1920s German expressionism - originally we were going to construct set like those movies, but instead we embraced the post-apocalyptic look of the desert and went for a narrative about a man who's left for dead in the desert and then slowly finds his calling and becomes the faith healer....trading in his crappy polyester cape for a fancy wool one with red satin lining! That 'transformation' recalls the sped-up footage from Nosferatu where the vampire moves freakishly fast...

It's a cover of song by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band that Richard has always liked - we wanted to honor the weirdness of the song by creating something just as weird...
