Music video
The music video for "Somewhere in Neverland" premiered on March 19, 2013.[2] Directed by Raul Gonzo, the video features the band escaping their boring work life through some "creative use" of a photocopier, with such scenes as a hot air balloon ride and a Moon landing depicted on Xeroxed papers. MTV correspondent James Montgomery praised the video for being enjoyable in spite of its evidently limited budget: "Working with limited funds, they've managed to create a clip that's both funny and strangely sweet."[2]
