Unlikely musical collaborators Jean-Michel Jarre and Edward Snowden recently released a track they worked on together called "Exit." It's a freaky and aggressive little piece of electronic music that calls for an equally strange visual. Well today, The Verge has the premiere of the song's new video, and it's definitely strange.

The video itself is... quite literal. In case you somehow missed the fact that the song was about surveillance and our uneasy relationship with technology, the video should make that clear. As the song plays, the clip hits you with jittery flashes of news headlines, satellites in space, security cameras, and other paranoid imagery; like hands rapidly typing on keyboards, phones, and men in sunglasses. There's also an old interview with Snowden in there, now adorned with Matrix-style falling code.

"Exit" comes off Jarre's upcoming album, Electronica 2: The Heart Of Noise, out May 6th.
