NEW RELEASE: Mew "Special"

A wealthy couple tries to dance away the ennui at a huge country manor in the shadowy b&w video for this new wave cut from Danish band Mew. Despite their manic efforts — and a Crouching Tiger segment in which the woman imagines floating away — the pair devolve into a fight and wind up trying to leap into the nearest body of water. Whether it's for a rebirth or a suicide attempt depends on your mood, I guess. -- watch "Special" in Real or YouTube
