Film At 11: These New Puritans

If one thing can be said about These New Puritans, it’s that they definitely have an aesthetic. “Attack Music,” like the video for 2007’s “Elvis” (certainly one of that year’s best singles), features compellingly strange bodies, usually shot from the waist up, being, uh, tested. They’re running and being jerked around, but they don’t seem to be dancing. That would imply pleasure. It’s more like invisible forces are compelling them to make these jerky movements, mimicking the gunshot-alluding beat.
