Pegboard Nerds and Monstercat combine Pixel Art with Pop

Danish/Norwegian producer duo Pegboard Nerds, best known for their releases with Monstercat, have just released a music video for their charity EP, Pink Cloud.

The video is an animated pixel-art adventure as the two producers venture to defeat an evil volcano that turns boobs into monsters… or something. Even after multiple viewings I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I am sure I like it.
