NEW YORK (Billboard) - The video for Gnarls Barkleys new single, "Run," may feature a cameo from Justin Timberlake, but its still not quite ready to air on MTV.
Thats because of its strobe effects, which caused the clip to fail the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures.
However, the video is available on various online outlets, and Gnarls Barkley member Danger Mouse was hopeful the situation could be resolved shortly.
"I dont know exactly whats going on, but were having issues. I think (the video) is cool. It works for me. But Im not necessarily that easily seasick," he told Billboard.com. "We cant predict how people are going to interpret it."
"Run" centers around the fictional public access TV show "City Vibin" and is set in the early 90s. Timberlake appears as the host of the program, on which Danger Mouse and fellow Gnarls Barkley principal Cee-Lo then perform the track.
With its new album, "The Odd Couple," nearing its April 8 release date, Gnarls Barkley are about to shoot a video for the second single, "Whos Gonna Save My Soul."
The group is also rehearsing for summer tour dates, which include a July 27 show at Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl and both U.S. and European festivals.
"We didnt plan last time to do a whole bunch, and we dont plan to do a whole bunch this time, but you just never know how its going to feel until you go out there," Danger Mouse said.
