De Lux - “It All Works All The Time” Official Video (NSFW)

Last time we checked in with L.A. disco-poppers De Lux, they were racing ahead at rocket speed as if they had just snorted Pixy Stix. This time the only perceivable substance abuse is by a famous cartoon character. “It Works All The Time” offers up a different side of Voyage, De Lux’s forthcoming Innovative Leisure debut. The pairing of a touchy-feely mid-tempo funk groove with uptight nasal crooning registers instantly as Talking Heads fanboy status put to good use, but the video is about as far from Stop Making Sense’s joyous reverie as you can get. Written and animated by Nick Walker, the clip features what appears to be Felix The Cat going on a rampage of racy behavior that includes cocaine, prostitutes, prison fights and more.
