Foals – “Late Night” Video (NSFW)
Foals have now released three videos from their new LP, Holy Fire, two of which have received the NSFW tag: first single “Inhaler” and now “Late Night.” That’s probably not a bad strategy; no television outlet (in the States, anyway) is going to give these things any airtime, and I’d bet NSFW vids on average get exponentially more clicks than those of the SFW variety. The “Late Night” clip is pretty damn explicit — as the band plays the lounge of a Lynchian hotel, we get a glimpse of what’s going on in the rooms around them, including a childbirth, a couple enjoying some rough sex, and a solo dude engaged in a bit of autoerotic asphyxiation-turned-unintentional suicide. In this sense, the NSFW tag is well-earned, but the song deserves it, too: It’s one of Holy Fire’s most intimate moments, and the clip presents an honest-feeling visual representation of such intimacy. Check it out.
