Now that the world has cottoned on to ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ (and we’re all a little sick of it), prepare for the next track from Making Mirrors.

The clip for ‘Easy Way Out’ is a second crack at visualizing the song following a manga-themed version from late last year.

This was made by Melbourne animator and director Darcy Prendergast and his team at Oh Yeah Wow, who did the stunning ‘Eyes Wide Open’ clip and apparently took nine months to assemble this stop-motion effort.

It was debuted on triplej’s site this morning, with the statement, “We completely disregarded ‘good business sense’ and created a piece of art that would hopefully leave the viewer’s cerebral cortex sliding down the computer screen. From a visual perspective, we wanted to bombard our audience with magic.”

It’s pretty special. Have a look below.
