Portland, Ore.,-based band Unknown Mortal Orchestra have a knack for releasing odd music videos. The playfulness of it all can either come off arty or simply bizarre, but their visual accompaniments are nonetheless entertaining. In support of their self-titled album (out now on Fat Possum), their Sam Kristofski-directed clip for “Strangers Are Strange” is a rather subdued one in comparison to the wildly out-of-the-box concept in “Thought Ballune,” but it shouldn’t be a surprise if the vintage oddball characters urge you to pop in a Wes Anderson film afterward.
