Nathan Barnatt is known for his creative and at times wacky videos, and his new clip for Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" featuring the vocals of Niki & The Dove is no different. Taken from Moore's 2014 album Recess, "Ease My Mind" has been one of the standouts from the album and has remained one of the lasting singles to come from the album. Barnatt's video does what he does best, bringing his whacked out dance moves to the Skrillex-crafted beat. He manages to mold his odd personality and quick editing into a storyline about love and love lost that fits with the theme of the song. If it were not for the fact that Skrillex has pretty twisted videos and Nathan Barnatt is somewhat of a YouTube celebrity, someone might mistake this for his official video.
The Los Angeles-based comedian, actor and dancer -- though those may not be mutually exclusive -- is known for his wacky dance moves that he sets to other people's music. In the past he has brought his over-the-top, slightly off-beat gyrations to tracks like Madeon's super mashup "Pop Culture" and Yelle's "Comme un Enfant."
Skrillex released a remix EP for "Ease My Mind" featuring the work of Jai Wolf and GTA, but there was a hiccup in the release, as it happened to be leaked three weeks early on iTunes. Skrillex shook off the adversity and finished the year strong with a powerhouse set alongside Diplo as Jack Ü at Madison Square Garden and kicking off the year with a performance at the Winter X Games. An official video for the song may come at some point, but for now, be satisfied with the outlandish dancing of Nathan Barnatt.
