Music video
A music video was made for "M4 (Part II)". It was directed by Ryan Bosworth and came with a limited amount of hard-copy M4 EPs. It apparently was the first theatrically styled music video the band filmed. It features the band playing the song in intervals, and for the most part a representation of the song through a personified hierarchy of crabs where a single crab wishes to dominate the space of everyone's sand dune. In the end the crab becomes the only one left, and reflecting on the songs lyrics, ends up being devoured by a bigger predator than itself; seagulls.
