The video for “New Life” was
directed by Skeleton Realms’ Sam Wagstaff, and its a perfectly executed
absurdist drama that perfectly mirrors the song’s carefree, cascading
synths — an obvious nod to the 1980s vision of what “the future” would
look like. An homage to trash culture, the protagonists’ garish
costumery and makeup mimics some of the not-so-subtle perversion of John
Waters’ least commercial films, it’s a love story centered around one
of the most beloved comedies of the 1990s. If you’ve ever browsed the
VHS section of a thrift store, then you know that Jerry Maguire
is the most frequently disposed-of videotape of the 21st century.
There’s always at least 15 sitting on the shelf, just waiting for a
person who can tolerate Tom Cruise (is there such a person?) to seize
it. Apparently there is such a person, and a Jerry Maguire obsession happens to be the catalyst for this video’s bizarre plotline.
