The Strokes' 'Threat of Joy' Video is Strangely Political

The Strokes make a return in their "Threat of Joy" video, marking the band's first one since 2011—and it's very strange! Directed by Warren Fu, it begins with a secret agent stealing the footage for "OBLIVIUS" before this message appears on the screen:

“Due to circumstances we are not at liberty to discuss, we are unable to present the music video for ‘OBLIVIUS.’ Instead, please enjoy a special presentation of the Strokes in...‘Threat of Joy.’”
