Ghislain Poirier's second video from the album No Ground Under is a short and sweet affair. An animated army of tie-clad zombies dance and tessellate across the screen for all of just over two minutes, courtesy of illustrator Gina Lassalvetat and director Thibaut Duverneix. Both the understated track and the showcased images are not what one would expect, based on the content of Poirier's last video-- the hockey/booty-fest that is "Blazin'". Here's the thing: the eclectic Mr. Bounce Le Gros is a bit of a renaissance man. This is most certainly not the first time his music has taken a less ass shaking and more artistic turn.

Sure, he can get the massive to break a sweat, but his tunes can also work well with contemporary dance. Check the video for the cheekily titled "Don't Smile, It's Postmodern"-- directed by Notice Bureau and featuring dancer Tim Rodrigues. There's also his ongoing collaborations with Montreal choreographer Dana Michel. Check "Critical Path Method" produced for Quebec's ArtTV.
