MSTRKRFT: FIST OF GOD

Check out the video for “Heartbreaker” by MSTRKFT (featuring John Legend) off their sophmore EP Fist of God.  Directed by Vince Haycock, the video plays out a hipster fantasy: finding love in the dollar store bodega. It’s The Breakfast Club in a downtown LA 89-cent store. Boy falls for checkout girl. Friends dance around with pirate flags and piniatas on head. Boss wakes up from siesta, kills party vibe. Jordan to the net. Barkley with the block.

The Toronto electronic duo made up of Jesse F. Keeler formerly of Death from Above 1979 and Al-P (Alex Puodziukas) formerly of the Mississauga electropop group have recieved mixed reviews for Fist of God. While they reached a way bigger audience making it, they also anticipated a lot of fans would’nt like the record. Ill admit I was skeptical of the John Legend collaboration but the hook is damn catchy. Square in.
