Little Dragon's "Klapp Klapp" gets a strikingly eerie visual. Helmed by Taylor Cohen (with creative direction from Nabil) the dark video takes us to the cemetaries of the Dominican Republic.

Cohen says about the shoot, "There’s something primal and eerie about the song... the drums feel ceremonial, you know? The original treatment I wrote was set in Mexico, in the kind of cemetery where Michael Douglas wakes up in The Game. But then we incorporated the voodoo element, and the Dominican Republic came up."

Nabil talks about working with Cohen, "He has a weird mind like mine. My main job was trying not to annoy him – I didn’t get in the way, except for the very end sequence, where I jumped in and directed my version of the ending."
