Death From Above 1979 – “Virgins” Video
Death From Above 1979 have just shared a video for “Virgins,” a track off of last year’s reunion album The Physical World, and it’s a weird one. It follows around a group of rebellious Amish teens that set up a wild party in a barn, where they take shrooms and see the world in a new light. “The video takes cues from the lyrics of the song which are a meditation on innocence and coming of age,” the band explained in a press release. “That very precarious time in life when sex is elusive, maybe even frightening but always compelling.” There’s not much sex to be had in the video besides some aggressive licking, but there is a bloody banana that’s handed off through a moving photo frame, some cremation snorting, and a fight with a wooden chair. Watch below.
The Physical World is out now via Warner Bros/Last Gang. Read our Q&A with the band.
