Ya hungry boy? I got some tasty Snakadaktal here for ya. Come and get it. Come and get it. That's a good boy....

Aussie indie darlings SNAKADAKTAL continue to impress.Even at their tender age, the all-conquering Melbournians have been churning out the good stuff ever since their discovery on Triple J Unearthed, and this latest video for 'Dance Bear' is no exception.

Directed by SPOD, the video (like the song) is underplayed yet emphatic. As the track opens, hues of pink, purple and blue create a softness and simplicity which is complemented by the wide-eyed innocence of vocalists SEAN and PHOEBE. This is contrasted with the billowing smoke and confetti at the song's climax, whose intensity is somewhat castrated by footage of band-members giggling and shadow-boxing. God I'm a miserable sonovabitch.

My only gripe? The video doesn't feature a single dancing bear. Something to think about for next time, guys.
