The Crystal Method is holding their first NFT auction to celebrate the release of their latest album, “The Trip Out,” and its lead single, “Watch Me Now.”
With The Trip Out (released on April 15 on Ultra Records), the pioneering American electronic act The Crystal Method (Scott Kirkland) looks to the future and embarks on collaborations with some of today’s most exciting and diverse musicians.
Pushing The Crystal Method’s new sound to the forefront is the album’s riotous single “Watch Me Now,” featuring Koda & VAAAL. Watch the music video here.
Watch Me Now
The “Watch Me Now” animated music video is a stylish love letter to The Crystal Method’s native state of Nevada. Conceived and directed by Micah Chambers-Goldberg, the scenario centers on a woman dropped into the Mojave by two sinister men-in-black figures piloting a flying saucer. They torment her until she calls upon her crystal ship and takes her rightful seat as an otherworldly queen. She wreaks her vengeance on Area 51 before rocketing to a crystalline Las Vegas.
