A four and a half minute journey through different time periods and an alternate dimension, the video was directed by Warren Fu, based on a concept by Casablancas.
The premise is loosely inspired by Bruce Lee's Game of Death, in which the protagonist must face a unique moral dilemma in each setting, but is essentially about the subconscious mind, tying in thematic elements from 'Phrazes For The Young'.
Fu first teamed up with Casablancas on the acclaimed alternate video for The Strokes "You Only Live Once". All the artwork for and around Phrazes for the Young (including the '11th Dimension' video) is a culmination of a year long collaboration between Casablancas and Fu, a former Lucasfilm art director.
In addition to this highly anticipated video, viewers will be able to watch extra special behind the scenes footage, only on Babelgum. A true festive treat for all!
Phrazes for the Young was released through Cult Records/Rough Trade on November 2nd. Featuring eight brand new songs written by Julian Casablancas, the album was recorded over the last 12 months with studio work completed in Los Angeles, New York City and Nebraska and produced by Jason Lader with additional production by Mike Mogis.
