The video for Corners’ “The Spaceship” doesn’t really have an outer-space theme at all; the story follows a love triangle that ends in tragedy. The song comes from the quartet’s October full-length “Maxed Out On Distractions,” which saw the quartet — Tracy Bryant, Billy Changer, Rick Mabery and Jeff “Jeffertitti” Ramuno — take on synth-baked post-punk. It’s every bit as urgent as their previous garage-rock persona, but plenty more bleak. And the latter quality suits the slickly done video for “The Spaceship,” which was directed by David Gantz and Theo Cohn and stars Samson Kohanski, Giselle Gilbert and Austin Carr. From a tranquil beach to the desolate L.A. waterway, there are two dudes, one girl and one good-looking motorcycle. And a gruesome finale.
