In the video for Islands’ jumpy, jittery quasi-pop song “Hallways,” frontman Nick Thorburn is surprised to find himself singing for a band of marionette skeletons, but he gradually gets into it. The skeleton puppet effects are just awesome, and there’s a fun surprise ending that I’d rather not gi...
