Granted, the whole “are they or aren’t they” lesbian thing (they aren’t) and the wet catholic school girl uniform thing was more than a little cheesy. But, damn it, I enjoyed their debut album and still listen to their songs. I suppose part of the reason I like them is because I spoke fluent Russian in a former life. In fact, I made sure that “Я Сошла с Ума” (the русский variant of “All the Things She Said”) made it into my high school reunion dinner/dance playlist last week.
But, okay, aren’t they, like, so two years ago? Well, their new single “All About Us” was released to the iTunes music store this past Tuesday. (I’m listening to it on continuous repeat as I write this post.) Their second English-language album, Dangerous and Moving is coming out in October. If this single is any indication, it will be a worthy successor.
Anyway, the video for “All About Us” is rather provocative. This time it’s not sexual content, but violent content that is catching the attention of the censors. Censorship really pisses me off, so here’s a link to a 38 MB MPEG download of the uncensored version. Such links are ephemeral, and I don’t expect that link to remain active for very long. This Wikipedia entry has a text summary of the video.
