Snap Judgment: Santogold gets crazy with the green screen in 'Lights Out'

I was honestly not aware that we’d arrived at the point where Garden State homages were remotely hip again. (Were they ever, really?) But Santogold’s new video for her excellent single "Lights Out" (h/t) has forced me to reconsider my position. Somehow that signature wallpaper-camouflage trick just looks a lot cooler without all the Braff getting in the way of the pretty patterns. Doesn’t it? Check it out below and chime in. It’ll change your afternoon, I swear…

Well, they certainly have a new fan in me. Nice find, EW.

I keep hearing Santogold on the radio. Sounds like Teagan and Sarah to me…

She opened for Coldplay in Philly. I thought it was a strange combo, but I loved her!
