It’s no mystery that Asian Man recording artists, the Atom Age are obsessed with 1960s pop-culture. Not only is their music a clear nod to 60s rockabilly and garage rock, but every one of their videos so far have been an overt homage to those swinging, groovy times, including their new video for the song “I Hypnotize.”
In “I Hypnotize” the Atom Age transports us back to an old black and white 1960s spy movie, only in this video they are apparently the evil geniuses, each of them with a patch over one of their eyes.
It’s a fun concept. The Atom Age, complete in their evil mastermind outfits, are performing at a hip, swanky nightclub where go-go dancing is in full swing. But in this seemingly innocent looking club, one lady’s night of mindless fun is cut short when she is hypnotized by the band and sent off to go commit murder!
The video is a big step forward for the Atom Age in terms of production. While their prior video, “Kill Surf City”, had a fun surf-zombie theme, it looked like it could have easily been shot and edited by the band with a Macbook and camcorder. “I Hypnotize” has the look and feel of a professional production team.
