Here at Tone Deaf we absolutely love wacky music videos, we thought we’d found the most bizarre clip earlier this year with first visual representation of The Vines/PNAU’s collab, White Shadows, however it appears we were mistaken.
Canadian thrash-rock duo, Death From Above 1979, have dropped a music video for their song ‘Virgins’ – a beat from their sophomore record The Physical World which dropped in 2014, and it’s the creepiest thing we’ve seen this year.
Directed by Eva Michon, the clip displays a group of Amish youngsters who sneak off to a party in a barn where they’re involved in all sorts of debauchery. From ingesting drugs like mushrooms and hoovering some form of mysterious powder, to weird orgy scenes that cut from human interaction to a goat’s udder being milked onto a person’s face – there’s basically nothing about this music video that isn’t unsettling.

All this wild behaviour comes to a premature end as the cops arrive, funnily played by DFA1979’s Jesse F. Keeler and Sebastien Grainger, who shut the whole thing down. As Pitchfork point out, the band released an official statement on the somewhat confronting nature of the clip, “the video takes cues from the lyrics of the song which are a meditation on innocence and coming of age. That very precarious time in life when sex is elusive, maybe even frightening but always compelling.”
It looks like something out of an Amish rumspringa gone extremely crazy, which if you’ve no idea what that is, we suggest you give Devil’s Playground a looksee.
Check out the right-off music video below, we think it could just be the loosest clip of 2015 yet:
