As if Santogold couldn&#39;t stand on her own two feet alone with her music, the video directed by <a href="http://www.nimanourizadeh.com/site/">Nima Nourizadeh</a> visually compliments the strength and power of her song through a playfully visceral assemblage of images and actions.<br /> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00bf76d0a9b7438300e398e5a0050005" at:format="extra-large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-extra-large video-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item video-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://tiffany.vox.com/library/video/6a00bf76d0a9b7438300e398e5a0050005.html"><img src="http://a5.vox.com/6a00bf76d0a9b7438300e398e5a0050005-500pi" alt="Santogold - L.E.S.

Coming to terms with my generation and truly, honestly, not really knowing what &#39;very Devo&#39; means, I&#39;m just going to assume it translates to &#39;wickedly radsauce modern performance piece to wacky electro music&#39;.
