Paul Banks (formerly releasing under the moniker Julian Plenti) of Interpol, wants to be young again. In his new video for "Young Again", directed by Sophia Peer, he gets to be just that, getting to relive the magic of elementary school as an adult.
Some things suck about being obstensibly young again, such as getting tripped by bullies in the hallway. However, getting to wail on other kids in dodgeball is a major perk.
Keeping Banks grown and a little aloof throughout the video is a nice touch, making for some fun moments such as when a very beautiful teacher (Susie Simpson) picks him up off the floor. Our favorite moment though, is a little girl mouthing "that really hurt" in slow motion after getting hit by one of Banks' throws. That's cold.
