I am way too preoccupied with music as... music, something you listen to, and generally forget there's this entire art form called the music video, and every once in a while I come across one that's amazing and I'm like holy shit, that's brilliant, and then I go back to listening and forget about videos again. Then I come across another one, and *surprised pikachu face*, and so on and so forth.
So anyway this one is directed by Michael William West, and it fucks. The press release calls it "a portrait of corrupt ambition, aesthetic incest and the history of abstract expressionism."
Fat White Family - Religion For One
You are what you sacrifice
Amalgam of pain, should your
Misplaced foresight
Lead you to my door again
Roll out them shekels, babe
Spit out that cum
My conscience dissipating
Your vanity's firstborn runt
Just a cat drinking
Its own reflection
You're not the picture
Not even the frame
Just a dog drinking
Up my reflection
You're fishing for pain
Religion for one
Your fear of failure and ambition the same thing
You will never get a table at the Dorsia within
Finish off this pedicure
Redirect the plane
Your armor protecting nothing
Your sympathy's driest month
Just a byproduct of my resentment
You're not the picture
Not even the frame
Just a dog drinking
Up my reflection
Lead singer covered himself in butter and went into the crowd, he smelt like spoilt milk. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
As my friend said: “Maybe they’re trying to be so out there that they transcend the reality the audience is in, give them an out of body experience without the actual drugs”
