Music video

Directed by Dean Karr, the "Solitaire Unraveling" video is set in a Southern California airplane hangar and shows the band in specially designed masks. According to J Mann, the song "acts as a metaphor for the cycles of life and the duality of man". The drummer and founder band member Skinny adds, "It's very much us: dark, creepy, surreal." It found moderate airplay on Uranium and MTV2.^{[citation needed]}
