“New France” ft. Zola Jesus - Orbital

A lot going on here - the adventure of the fuzzy lion starts off creepy, gets pretty rad, then rips your heart out before pulling off a few seconds of adorable at the end. I like it more than a lot of the music videos permeating YouTube and Vimeo. The fact that the track is incredible and my poorly-veiled bias for anything Zola Jesus has a hand help out more than a bit, I suppose. There’s also a making-of video that’s half the length, but with the exact same soundtrack [link]. Finally, the new Orbital album, Wonky, will be released on April 1st in the UK and on the following day in the US. No fooling.
