Of Montreal: "Famine Affair" (Video)

2:31 p.m. · November 3, 2010 · by Erik Ziedses des Plantes

Spin.com has the premiere of Of Montreal's new video for "Famine Affair," a slightly off-putting clip where a man is seemingly trapped at a party populated entirely by women. Women who are all apparently fine with bathing together, eating food in slightly pornographic fashions, and participating in bizarre breeding ceremonies. When the man gets a little buck wild, he is quickly beaten down by the women, and, well, just watch. The clip was co-directed by Jason Miller (who handled their blood-soaked "Coquet Coquette" video) and Nina Barnes, former band member and current wife to Of Montreal leader Kevin Barnes. Spin gave the latter Barnes a chance to explain the concept of the video:

"It's the story of a man living in a feminine empire. As a male, he is considered lower class. He is expected to abstain from any social interaction with members of the ruling class, and provide sperm for breeding rituals. Each household is provided by the State with one male, the housemale is not permitted to leave the grounds. The housemale must live in the estate he is assigned to until death or sexual impotence."

Well, alright then! False Priest is available now.
