SUMMER HELICOPTER (MAGIC SILVER WHITE REMIX) (2013): >> Watch the video: youtu.be/8wkD34T2WbI >> About: Director Brett Ludeman has shot a video for Magic Silver White's broody electro remix of Summer Helicopter.

Crab pincers terrify, tofu bombs drop and noodles become strangling arms in a playful homage to 1930s Japanese monster movies. Guaranteed to make you wanna play with your food!
