Modest Mouse are releasing a new music video tomorrow on their myspace. The song 'King Rat', was directed by Heath Ledger.
According to a press release, the animated clip is a visual plea against "the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia." While the clip was "fully conceived" by Ledger, it was unfinished when he passed away in January 2008. After Ledger's death, the film and music company the Masses, which counted Ledger as a member, finished the video with support from Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock.
Proceeds from the video's iTunes sales will benefit non-profit Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
