While we're on the subject of music videos, let's go ahead and make it a trifecta with something even cuter than the Deheza twins and more kid-friendly than the JoBros.

The Paper Chase's new album Someday This Could All Be Yours, Vol. 1--which is awesome, my favorite from the band by a long shot--comes out today. As part of the promotional push, the band has released the above video for "What Should We Do With Your Body? (The Lightning)," created by director Clyde Petersen entirely from found footage.

It's a great visual complement to the song, using shock and grim humor to capture the dark themes. Also, it's somewhat disturbing and has a few NSFW moments--animal experimentation, slaughterhouse footage, mild nudity--so think twice before you press "play."
