Not too long ago, word broke that Conor Oberst was working on a Monsters of Folk-driven sci-fi screenplay. That's one top of the last Bright Eyes album, The People's Key, which was heavy on the discussion of reptoids (reptilian aliens from another dimension, for those among us who aren't Art Bell devotees).
So it's not much of a surprise that Oberst's latest video, for Zigzagging Toward the Light from the album Upside Down Mountain, seems to draw on some sci-fi themes. Not only that, but the story from this video will apparently be continued in future music videos as well. All hail Conor Oberst, this generation's musical Philip K. Dick.
