10 Awesome Indie Music Videos Starring No Humans
 |
| Still from Grizzly Bear's "Ready, Able" |
Back in May, Josh Ritter, who played a pretty stellar performance at the Granada, released a new marionette- and puppet-based music video for his song "The Curse," which Ritter lover Fuel For Friends posted. It's really, really cool. For the sake of lists, and pointing out music videos that made us secretly cry and then deny it when somebody sees us, here are the ten coolest indie music videos that star not one single human (after the jump!).
10. Neko Case - "People Got a Lotta Nerve"
2D construction-paper animation works well with the metamorphosis/please-stop-hunting motif going on in this catchy tune.
9. Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal"
Animated by lead Robin Pecknold's brother Sean, this music video features some beautiful claymation and practical effects.

8. The Low Anthem - "Charlie Darwin"
Stop-motion puppetry achieves this look for "Oh My God Charlie Darwin." It's all about the cellophane water.
7. Architecture In Helsinki - "Like it or Not"
Deserves a spot on ANY music video list simply for being animation by way of embroidery.

6. Grizzly Bear - "Ready, Able"
One of the most shockingly strange, unreal claymation music videos ever.

5. Fleet Foxes - "Mykonos"
Also animated by Sean Pecknold, this one is more Tron than White Winter Hymnal--and is just as trippy.
