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.
