The Music Video That Heath Ledger Made...
Written by Lex Walker
Wednesday, 05 August 2009   

Just like Tupac, apparently Heath Ledger's career carries on posthumously. His music video for Modest Mouse's single "King Rat" surfaced yesterday and well - decide for yourself.

It certainly keeps with the uber-creative style of Modest Mouse's music videos, and the influence of Terry Gilliam carries on. I for one really like the animation style present here and the song has a nice punchy bounce to it with the nice brass accompaniment - it's a really great music video effort. Had the video been for anyone else I don't think I'd be quite so positive on it, but Ledger really did peg the Modest Mouse style really well.
