Music video

The video for "Highly Evolved" has been described as 'the ultimate low rent video'. The video opens with the message "A lot can happen in 90 seconds, use your imagination"[1] in white letters on a black screen. Then, a pressure gauge appears and a timer begins to count down from 90 seconds in the lower right hand corner. In the last 30 seconds, the gauge goes into the red as the timer begins to buzz around the screen before "The Vines / Highly Evolved" appears as a title before the video ends.
