A couple months ago, Kay of The Gimp Parade blogged about the new Antony and the Johnsons single “Epilepsy Is Dancing”, but I finally got around to watching the song’s video and thought some of you might find it interesting. Antony and the Johnsons are a chamber pop outfit whose lead singer has an arresting androgynous tenor. The video begins with a young woman taking a stroll when she collapses to the sidewalk in the grips of a seizure. What follows is a kind of dream sequence in which the woman is transported into a forest whose inhabitants are really into body painting.
The video does feature semi-naked bodies, so you probably shouldn’t play this in your work cubicle unless everyone else is out sick and your boss is at lunch.
