ART BY NUMBERS BRUTALLY ATTACKED BY LENS FLARE

Did J.J. Abrams direct the new Art by Numbers video? Obviously not, but whomever it was, he or she obviously shares the Star Trek helmer’s love of lens flare. I guess in all fairness this video would be boring without the lens flare, since there isn’t much else going on visually — but with the lens flare, it’s inadvertently hilarious, which, I imagine, is not what they were going for.

In any case, the song, which is called “The Man in the Box” but is (obviously) not a cover of the Alice in Chains classic “Man in the Box,” is pretty good. My biggest problem with this band remains the vocals.

“The Man in the Box” comes off of Art by Numbers’ debut LP, Reticence: The Musical, which comes out May 29.
