Locals in the National Press: Girls Strip Naked

​
In case you missed Pitchfork's lead story this morning, there's a new cut for the Girls' "Lust for Life" video. The revision involves far less clothing, as its new title, "'Lust for Life' Hardcore XXX Edit" (clip grabbed from MBV), would suggest.

Here penises double as microphones (thanks to Hunx and His Punx), naked girls double as band members, and live footage of the band performing is spliced into the more intimate shots.

Girls are turning out to be the San Francisco buzz band that keeps the buzz heading far behind the music, whether it's stories of the band member's cult past and present drug use, or new ways to show fans that they're the boys to party with. (When Girls won this year's SF Weekly Music Award for best indie rock/pop act, they sent a gaggle of hot ladies on stage to accept their award for them since they were on tour).

It's good to see a genuinely talented act be so playful with their image while still writing the sorta stylish dream pop that makes critics blissfully happy. In lesser hands, a XXX video would be painfully cheeseball. But here, our only warning is NSFW.
