It is with great pleasure today that I announce the premier of the new video from The Polyamorous Affair's third, most excellent album Strange Bedfellows. Eddie and Sissy Chacon (how cute - I love duos with romantic leanings), originally hailing from sunny LA, California, are now residing in Berlin, Germany -- and this new video for the single "Softer And Softer" certainly brings to mind a certain European sensibility. Filmed in scrumptious black and white by director Nuka Wølk Mathiasson in (I'm totally guessing) Berlin itself, this bizarre and vaguely disturbing (but not enough so to warrant a feature on Video Disturbeo) "mini-movie" comes across as a creepy snuff film as poor Eddie is harassed, beaten, kidnapped, and brutally manhandled by the lovely Sissy, who's done up in Droog fashion and wielding a big stick. The song itself has a lovely, measured beat and lilting, delicate synths hovering gently over Sissy's whispered vocals about an "innocent baby wallaby." Enjoy the picture, and proceed to your favorite purveyor of music and get yourself some TPA stuff. All three albums - The Polyamorous Affair, Bolshevik Disco, and Strange Bedfellows - are fantastic.
