Balaclavas are the shit right now. From imprisoned Russian Pussy Riot activists to the catwalk to Spring Breakers and now, to this new music video for Diplo’s “Butter’s Theme” (ft. Gent & Jawns) directed by Reuben Dangoor. But mostly, from the imprisoned Russian Pussy Riot activists.
Hey, I wouldn’t push the Pussy Riot connection if that commendable butt up there wasn’t decorated with upside-down crosses which may look like witch house to you, but to me it spells “revolution.”
The stacked-babe-on-babe-babe motif is a bit of an idée fixe for Diplo, with the latest video reminiscent of his epic space stripper visuals for “Set It Off” directed by Ryan Staake. It gets particularly kaleidoscopic towards the end. You’d think you’re watching Cyriak, but nope.
Alright, that was fun, “yo.”
