Much like the cat in Steinlen's iconic Le Chat Noir poster has come to represent the Parisian cabaret nightclub scene of the late 19th Century, the video for "Cover Me With Absinthe" also features a black feline as it traverses the rooftops and alleyways, taking a rich inspiration from the French Art Noveau period. The video uses a variety of cinematic methods, like stop motion and layered mediums, to tell the tale of folks imbibing in the absinthe and the immediate ill effects it wreaks on their bodies. Remember, this song is autographical so the gents in Mr. Moonshine are well aware of these side effects! After conquering all of the humans above ground the green fairy sets her sights next on the cat itself, tempting it with just a sip of the powerful elixir. Will curiosity kill the cat? Take a look and find out!
