Music video

The music video for "Planets" was spread between two songs, "Planets" and " We Dance to a Different Disco, Honey." The video features the band in a fancy club with people wearing masks, and the members taking the masks off to reveal their identity, also with scenes of a lady torturing another lady by licking her. At the end of the video the lady being tortured reveals that something is hidden at the place that the band is at. Guitarist/Vocalist Shaun Diviney eventually takes off a statue's mask, revealing a white lady with no mouth. Security guards then block Diviney and the lady's path and captures them. The story is then continued in "We Dance to a Different Disco, Honey." There are also scenes of Short Stack playing a in a large room with flashing purple lights.
