| Ariel Pink at the Detroit Bar in August |
Ariel Pink and the Klaxons both play psychedelic art rock music that hipsters love; but today's launch of their respective videos garnered a mish mash of unexpected reactions.
In fairness, the boobage that Ariel Pink is fighting with is more implied than explicit; the video for his latest single, the great "Round and Round" (directed by Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne) was filmed on Coyne's iPhone, and features "the breast milk of 30 women." (You'll see it in the intro of the video, and you can watch it after the jump.)
Visual noise was added to the footage by Flaming Lips visual dude George Salisbury, which makes for a properly psychedelic chill wave experience.
The Klaxons' video for "Twin Flames" on the other hand, is a scary nightmare of an orgy, where body parts are CGI'ed together and people are exchanging bodily fluids in an alien, worse than Human Centipede way.
Most definitely NSFW, we think the Klaxons win this one not just because it will scar our brains for life, but also because it shows that the band has guts (hey--even they get naked), and "Twin Flames" is a pretty great song. And here we thought the Klaxons were just another hipster band!
