ROYKSOPP : This Must Be It

The boys from Norwegian outfit Royksopp always come up with the good for their video clips - each one is met with an incredible expectation that's almost always met. Who could forget the genius and spooky make-up of their 'What Else Is There' clip or the incredible real-life space invaders 'Happy Up Here' clip? Genius! Well the boys have come up with the goods once again. The clip starts off with a gentleman driving his drum kit towards a tribal home (presumably he's been down the market to pick himself up a few odds and ends), but we're shocked to see that he's not even wearing a seatbelt. Not that many drum kits these days actually come with seatbelts (or any other modern day safety features such as airbags, dynamic stability control, emergency brake assist etc etc). Then he arrives at the camp and just when we think the locals are about to attack him, they shoot a drumstick (not the ice cream) at him, he catches it and starts playing away. Immediately, we see that he's not alone and there are others in the tribe who can also hold their own behind a drum kit. Another altogether baffling clip, but highly entertaining.
