The latest music video from Depeche Mode’s Songs of the Universe was just uploaded to YouTube, and the band have gone from a somewhat NSFW video of a guy with a freakishly long tongue cleaning out his girlfriend’s pores to a trippy show that’s a psychedelic treat at best and a dated screensaver at worst.
Watch below or here, as Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andrew Fletcher flop around outer space in the form of bits of light or fireworks or stars or something. There’s also a human-shaped fire being that would have fit in well in the scariest movie of all time, The Last Unicorn.
Even if you don’t dig the video, “Fragile Tension” is a pretty cool song and Gahan’s voice even has flashes of a young Robert Smith during the hook.
