Electronic musician Peaches has released the NSFW music video for her song “Close Up,” featuring Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.
The idea for this insane video, which was directed by Vice Cooler, stems from Peaches’s love for lucha libre (Mexican wrestling). To explain the odd concept, Peaches told press,
“I’m fascinated by Lucha VaVOOM, the work they do, and by classic bro movies like Rocky; the relationships between coach and student and between men and their sports. For ‘Close Up,’ I wanted to combine the two, adding some little twists.”
In the video, Peaches hires Gordon as her wrestling coach before stepping into the ring to face various wrestlers and luchadores (Mexican wrestlers), including Cassandro and Dirty Sanchez from Lucha VaVOOM. Crazy antics then ensue, as imaginable and typical of Peaches.
While “Close Up” may be a track you can enjoy anywhere, it’s important to note that the same can’t really be said for the video. This video has definite NSFW tendencies, including feces, vomit, and lactation, all while coach Gordon vapes throughout the video.
“Close Up” is a track off Peaches’s upcoming album Rub, which is set to release on Sept. 25. You can watch the video below.
