Baio's new "The Names" video shows off his quirky side [Video]

Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio is charming our argyle socks off with his solo debut album The Names. Naturally, the titular track is the perfect entry point into his cutesy and off-kilter style of electronic indie pop and the video Baio just released only furthers the love.

Shot in London and directed by Baio himself, the video features Baio walking around town in his finest with skull in hand. His decapitated companion joins in to sing some of the song, the two visit some interesting places, have some drinks, and really just enjoy themselves.

The inspiration? Baio says, "Last fall the image of a man walking around in a dinner jacket while holding a medical skull popped into my head. Why? Beats me! Your mind can take you to weird places. I'd wanted to take a stab at directing a music video for a while and thought "The Names" would be my chance.”
