Claire Marie Vogel and Aaron Hymes present a deserted world for veteran power-popsters Silversun Pickups. Deserted, that is, apart from the toys...

Vogel and Hymes's video for Toy Soldiers (yes, it's a cover of the Martika classic), is a slow-burning release of photo-realistic CGI and live action, with the band appearing on the TVs that spring to life in the stores and meeting places in the empty city.

And then eventually the little green toy soldiers appear. Not so little, in fact. And other toys and games come, looming over the urban landscapes.
