Music video director Tom Jobbins has a thing with stop motion, color and cardboard.
And all these things come together for tUnE-yArDs' new video, for “Real Thing.”
Hold onto your limbs and take a deep breath: you'll be going inside a box with mastermind Merrill Garbus and a trove of packing peanuts, inside a mannequin shipping plant.
“Real Thing” is featured on “Nikki Nack,” tUnE-yArDs' smashing 2014 album. Keep your ear open for some Garbus real talk on dress sizes, the problems with fame and a side-eye at the Redskins and Braves names.
