Autre Ne Veut‘s new video is extremely simple. From a fixed vantage point, you watch a strange, upper-crust art party that has its attendees march and flap around a ballroom while Arthur Ashin walks calmly through it all, taking some time out to play the piano. It’s a continuation of Autre Ne Veut’s thematic usage of Sotheby’s-esque scenes for his videos and art direction, but this video is simply great as a reminder of how many jams were on this year’s Anxiety. “Ego Free Sex Free” was eclipsed by the other singles from the album—namely “Play By Play” and “Counting“—but when it gets a chance to stand on its own it makes the case that: 1.) It’s an amazing song, and 2.) Autre Ne Veut really had one of the strongest albums out this year.
An Autre Ne Veut tour for this fall was announced along with the video. It’s one of the best concerts you’ll see this year if you get the chance to hit one of the dates, which are listed below.
