"Flux" Video Review

"Flux" is a song by Bloc Party, and will be released November 12, 2007. It was produced by Jacknife Lee, along with several other new songs, during the band's week in the studio after Reading and Leeds gigs. The song uses mostly electronic instruments and has Kele's voice is manipulated through a vocoder.

A video for the song was directed by video director Ace Norton, who has previously directed videos for The Willows, Norah Jones and Death Cab for Cutie. It uses strange special effects like using toys and model like buildings reminiscient of the Beastie Boys music video Intergalactic. It features monsters and robots fighting in a city while two silver robots begin to love each other while the fight occurs. At the end of the video, the silver robots walk away after the male robot drinks toxic waste while the other monsters dance and dissapear strangely as light shines on them.

The video was filmed over two days in Boston with American performance troupe Kaiju Big Battel. Some of the Kaiju (Japanese for 'strange beast') characters in the video are The Grudyin, Unibouzo, Vegetius, Giii the Space Pirate and Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder (the newest Kaiju Hero).
