Music video
The music video, directed by Reuben Sutherland, was released on the 25 February 2009 online via the band's official website, as well as on their official YouTube Channel. It features panning shots of a cityscape, with floating boxes lit up by light bulbs. It is eventually made apparent that the boxes are a 3D version of the aliens featured in the old arcade classic Space Invaders and the video is subsequently played out like the game, with cars on the ground serving as the defence. The video ends when the remaining aliens retreat.
