Imagine Dragons inhabit an odd corner of the pop music world - talking about them with my daughter when they were going to be in Brisbane a while ago, one of us commented that there would probably be an unusually large number of Dads in the audience. (The other person agreed.) There is something unusually male cross-generational acceptable about them in a way few other young-ish musical acts are these days.
I find I like quite a few of their songs, and this current one Bad Liar strikes me as an exceptionally good break up song. But that video clip for it - man, it's pretty creepy, isn't it? And just about perfectly opaque in meaning. I keep getting a suicide vibe from it - not a good thing to see in pop culture I reckon - and the dancing around him, combined with the song lyric, seems to make no sense at all.
Didn't I see some goth themed video clip from them for a song recently I didn't hear much? I wish they would get someone else on board for their videos.
