YOUTH LAGOON "Highway Patrol Stun" release

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

Youth Lagoon"Highway Patrol Stun Gun" (video)
Before Youth Lagoon takes us to the Savage Hills Ballroom on September 25, songwriter Trevor Powers is evidently spending some time hanging out with a dude in a gold mask. That's what we see in the video for the track "Highway Patrol Stun Gun." 

The clip adds a sense of lighthearted fun to the stately, swooning piano-rock song. We see footage of Powers and his gold-faced friend chumming it up around New York City, doling out random high-fives, playing basketball, bowling and dancing like goofs. This is mixed with moments of cinematic, slo-mo intensity, creating an interesting contrast in moods. 

Scroll past Youth Lagoon's tour schedule to watch the Kendy Ty-directed clip.
