Radical Friend is the collaboration of LA based artists/filmmakers Kirby McClure and Julia Grigorian. The duo has created surreal music videos and web based interactive worlds that are garnering massive amounts of attention from outlets like Boards, Shots, and Wired as well as Art/Fashion magazines like Dazed and Confused, Tokion and Vice. Their epic "Yeasayer-Ambling Alp" video premiered at the Hammer Museum (as part of the Flux screening) and Spin Magazine listed the video as one of the "Best Videos of 2009".
Below are two of their music videos(both for Yeasayer).

I can most definitely dig these. I like first videos use of the face being removed into the sky. Did they use green paint when putting it on his face initially? Also, were you thinking that the video idea or the song sounded similar to this? Thank you so much for putting up the videos!
