The Fat Angel Sings

The Black Keys’ video for their seven-minute “Turn Blue” power ballad “Weight Of Love” begins the same way their “Fever” video ended: With a grainy televised image of frontman Dan Auerbach as a sweaty evangelical preacher. And even though Dan Auerbach is only barely in the new video, it seems to be about a cult of young women who serve as his acolytes. The clip follows these frequently-topless white-clad ladies — supermodel Lara Stone chief among them — as they indulge in culty activities like group exercises and prayer circles. In its own way, the video itself is as horny as anything that would’ve aired on BET Uncut back in the day, but it seems to aspire to deeper things. Rolling Stone family scion Theo Wenner directed the video, just as he did with “Fever.”
