The video for “New France,” Orbital’s recent collaboration with Zola Jesus, doesn’t feature the British rave pioneers or the wailing postpunk queen. Instead, it tells the story of a stuffed lion who comes alive at night, escapes its kid, and attempts to party with a couple of friends before pining for its old life. The fact that this Toy Story story turns out to be pretty affecting is a clear tribute to the masters at work behind this lion puppet. Ian Bucknole directs. Watch it below.
Orbital’s new album Wonky is out 4/3.

Whoa.
I thoroughly enjoyed that video. The storylined video reminded me of 90s music videos. Love the themes of growing up through the eyes of a stuffed animal.
I guess we’ll be seeing this in the Top 5 Videos of the week fur sure. (seewatididtherrcuzitsalion)
The moral of this story: No your place stuffed animals.
really great vid. decent song.
