Unknown Mortal Orchestra have shared the visuals to their excellent II standout single, “Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark)” and while the video stars a cast of puppets, the plot isn’t as innocent as you’d think. The marionettes are featured in various NSFW situations, including, um, puppet masturbation and nudity. The band has also shared their SXSW schedule which you can check out below, along with their complete list of tour dates.
