Bay area-based Hawnay Troof--think of his sound as a potpourri of dance-punk, electro-noise-rock, and indie-hip-hop (he's also buddies with Peaches and members of No Age and Deerhoof, which should help clue you in on his affinity for crossing genre lines)--recently debuted his latest music video, "Underneath the Ocean," off his album Islands of Ayle (directed by Antuong Nguyen).

I enjoyed his video for, "Connection," which was released last year (reminded me of vintage Beck mixed with a little MC 9000 Ft. Jesus), but I'm torn on "Underneath The Ocean." Green foam is usually a music video turn off for me:
