Post Truth Serum is the side project of Devotchka's Tom Hagerman.
From Denver Post column by John Wenzel:
“The concept started getting wackier and wackier,” said Biegunajtys, who generally ignores lyrics when making his videos. “I’d call Tom in the middle of the night with ideas.”
The concept evolved autobiographically. Stay-at-home orders became the starting point for a narrative about a quartet of young girls (played by Hagerman’s daughters) who had conquered their adult (Hagerman) and tied him to a chair. Clad in animal-face masks, they skip to locales around the city - some recognizable, some not - as they chase a flying pastry that looms like a glazed dirigible.
“I feel for Tom and all parents who are stuck at home,” Biegunajtys said. “So what if these girls had had enough? They’ve been cooped up for too long and are just sitting there trying to learn like the kids in Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall.’ People follow their rainbows, but who doesn’t want to follow a ginormous doughnut they suddenly see floating in the sky? Their mission is to find out where it’s coming from.”

Sit back this is about to begin
The same play staged before and again
The same, well worn old tale, and a different cast
You think that the sky falls to the ground
You feel so cast out and deaf to the sound
Of time waning oh so fast
Those worms said to have eaten of kings
Cast to those thoughts that swim through your dreams
Feed your more far fetched reveries
Gone... Gone are the days
When we were drunk on young dreams and nothing ever mattered
Nothing ever mattered to us
