New Video: King Khan & the Shrines “Born to Die”

569

King Khan & the Shrines have a new video for “Born to Die“, the lead track off the 2013 LP Idle No More, out now on Merge Records. Directed by Berlin’s Hylas Films, the video features all kinds of cosmic craziness like a mystical owl, sadistic Jacobeans, various forms of execution, libation rituals with Baphomet, and Khan himself as a burlap clad anchorite seeking magickal knowledge! What does it all mean? Well, Khan explains, “Ultimately, I wanted to pay tribute to Alejandro Jodorowsky who is one of my spiritual gurus and one of the greatest film makers of all time.” King Khan & the Shrines have a spring and summer full of touring Europe and the US planned, so check out all the live dates below.
