The video ends with multiple explosions across the surreal locations shown in the video. According to Chad Hugo’s…

Over two hundred and fifty concerts in two years, festivals throughout Europe, a trip to Kexp and a tour in Brazil. With “BODY TRANSMISSION”, their second album, they did the only thing possible for a band like this: they bottled that fury, without diluting it.
