Music Video of the Day: Spring Break (Birthday Song) by Ex Cops (2013, dir by Annelise Howard Phillips and Daniel Shapiro)


Since at least a few people are currently on spring break, this seemed like a good day to pick a video for a song that’s actually called “Spring Break.”

Of course, neither the song nor the video is really about spring break.  (Or, at the very least, it’s not about what we usually think of spring break being about.)  Instead, the video follows Ex-Cops as the prepare to play at the Museum of Modern Art.  It’s a bit of a documentary.  Meanwhile, a bicyclist (played by Nickolas Kimbrell, who designed the band’s costumes) rides around New York City, while wearing a variety of politically charged t-shirts and interacting with various New York characters.

Enjoy!
