Irish indie folk band Villagers have unveiled an innovative video for their new single 'Earthly Pleasure', taken from their second album 'Away Land'. Check it out below.
The video does a rare thing in that it actually visually represents the lyrics in the song, so the video follows the slightly abstract and rambling story of the track. The video begins with some uncomfortable teeth cleaning close ups, revealing the character on the toilet as the lyrics suggest.
Then the video goes completely crazy and enters the protaganist's subconscious, he falls and watches copies of himself falling with him, he also appears in a battlefield set in 1822. He eventually ends up explaining the intracacies of the Universe to a huge woman in a bathtub, and the video ends in a suitably twisted manner.
Watch Villagers - 'Earthly Pleasure' below:
The video is trippy, exciting and imaginative, it has a welcome originality and is a change from the usual pouting and posing that goes on in the average music video.
Villagers' album 'Away Land' was released in January this year and 'Earthly Pleasure' will be released on August 26.
