Courtney Barnett has released the music video for “Dead Fox” from her new album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit.

There are scenes of a couple being run over and an animated Barnett.Kerr and Ruttledg spoke about the video, saying:

“We liked how politically loaded and conversational the lyrics are. We wanted the animation to have a stylistic and organic look, hence most of the drawings were done on paper rather than digitally. To further compliment the lyrics, we thought it would be funny to have the animals in the video look as cynical as possible, as if they’d had enough with how humans are treating them.”
