"The Men Who Live Upstairs" - The Most Serene Republic

New video by the Arts & Crafts cohorts The Most Serene Republic for their song, "The Men Who Live Upstairs," off their new album, Population. They've got a church room filled with a charming group of prominent, pompous individuals all dressed in Victorian outfits. I think the concept is similar to The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. After a little while, the snooty people watchign MSR get fussy about the wall of sound that hits them (though you can't blame them there). Then they start keeling off for no readily apparent reason, though the title to the video mentions "The Plague of Eminence."

Draw your own conclusions. Regardless, this is a great song and a good bearing for Population.
