"No This Isn't Jazz Either" is of course a tongue-in-cheek title conveying an ongoing joke within the band. We were sometimes asked if we were jazz musicians because of the intricate and instrumental nature of the music. Anyone knowing jazz would know that we were not. These tracks played by Antartica are composed note for note. There is a little improvisation but it is mostly thought through in advance. The video concept is a rather random series of disturbing scenarios, in an attempt to parrot the feeling of the music. One emerging motif is the existence of "JBM", a mysterious entity that is only hinted at in this video.
