The electro kingpins behind the latest Adidas campaign had the benefit of exposure but also meant that very few people got to see or hear their first new track in years as it was originally intended.

 

Enter the official 'Civilization' video, directed by Edouard Salier who has previously worked with Air and Massive Attack. As testament to the duo's gargantuan sound, the video comes complete with a one-minute, scenic romp around some abandoned ancient wasteland before a herd of buffalo go AWOL and have some kind of existential war against what appears to be a statue of Jesus and his mates. You'll notice that the whole scene gets flipped around a lot, which means they're actually running on the sky while the ground falls on them. No, it makes no sense to us either. Which is precisely why it's AWESOME.
