Ariel Pink & Jorge Elbrecht – “Hang On To Life”

A few weeks ago, Ariel Pink teamed up with Jorge Elbrecht, the luxe indie-pop auteur behind projects like Lansing-Dreiden and Violens, to release the weirdly smooth single “Hang On To Life” . Today, the song gets a video, which Elbrecht directed with Alejandro Cardenas, and it’s mostly made up of soft-focus shots of Pink and Elbrecht looking elegantly disheveled. There’s also some slow-motion footage of a yellow lab shaking water off, just to make the “you screwed the pooch” lyric uncomfortably literal.
