French DJ and producer Simon Delacroix, better known as The Toxic Avenger, produces music that speaks to the darkest depths of the imagination. His new single “Romance & Cigarettes” is a deliciously dark electro collaboration with Anglo-French singer José Reis Fontao.
The visuals, of course, mimic the veiled frenzy of the song. At the start, the synthesized strings gradually build to collapse into a howling, popping chorus; at the same time, the delinquents of the music video gear up, in slow-motion, as they enter a supermarket, only to speed down the aisles in rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, and shopping carts—and then once again find themselves caught within the camera’s slow-motion. The visual effect mimics the supporting song, whose sound gets fuller and more exciting while the tempo remains stagnant, just as the kids in the video perform motion-intensive actions in slow-motion.
The video, directed by Stephané Benini, and the song, produced by (real name) Simon Delacroix, play off each other, just as a music video should.
The Toxic Avenger’s full-length sophomore album, which bears the same name of its single, is to be released October 8.
