Things get downright surreal in THE STROKES’ new music video for 'Threat Of Joy' off their new EP Future, Present, Past.

The band released it today (June 28), and it marks the first time in five years the entire band has appeared in a music video together.

From the smiles that arise on their faces throughout the video, it seems they’re having a grand time.

Directed by Warren Fu, the video takes place largely on a movie soundstage where another music video is being shot. But something goes terribly awry when important footage goes missing and several characters step in to recover it. There’s a mysterious agent, a group of greedy ne’er do wells in pig masks, a female spy and an intoxicating but wily seductress.
