French electronic musician Myd has just dropped a video for his new single “Moving Men” featuring indie rock darling Mac DeMarco. The trippy animated video features Myd and DeMarco as perpetually pot smoking movers who are more concerned with stealing from other people’s houses than they are with moving their furniture for them. Watch the Alexandre Nart-directed video below.

This unlikely collaboration all started when Myd was tasked with driving the convertible featured in French duo Justice’s iconic “Fire” video down to Mac’s house to present it to him as a gift. After meeting, the two began kicking around song ideas. Myd states in a press release: “The joy when we found the theme of the song. As soon as we found the ‘Moving Men’ theme we were mimicking a choreography of us two throwing boxes at each other!”

Both Myd and DeMarco have a flair for the eccentric in their art, and their collaboration has resulted in a symbiotic and charmingly unusual musical pairing. In the press release DeMarco speaks a bit on their relationship: “I met Myd in Paris a couple years ago, then when he was in Los Angeles he came over one night, and we wrote this song about moving men. He reminds me of some kind of bird. I like this guy.”

“Moving Men” is the second single from Myd’s forthcoming debut studio album, which is set to release on French electronic label Ed Banger in early 2021.
