Songs We Love: Crumb, 'Locket'

Plastic hearts cooked in a skillet, a lizard chopped with chives, a world absorbed into a marble. It's all part of a pleasant trip in the psych-pop band's new video.
Crumb's video for "Locket" is art in motion. By the time the viewer adjusts to it, so do the characters within it.

Not every acid trip will scar you with weird, drug-laced nightmares. In fact, if you play your cards right, a short experience could turn into a bout of revelatory visuals that inspire your creative side or a string of warped non sequiturs that become enjoyable in of the same name — members of the psych-pop group find themselves enjoying both of those sides in a memorable, 360-degree trip. Directed and edited by , the video sees the Brooklyn-via-Boston four piece holed up in a makeshift party house while experiencing the best, weirdest side effects imaginable.
