Music Video for New Order\u2019s \u2018Restless\u2019 Is a Sexy (And Shirtless) Take on \u2018The Sword in the Stone\u2019 \u2013 WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

The music video<\/a> for UK post-punk synth pop band New Order’s track “Restless” has everything: leather, raves, shirtless twinks<\/a>, pagan bacchanals, plus allusions to Arthurian legends aplenty.<\/p>\n

The video<\/a> starts off with a reimagining of ‘The Sword and the Stone’ that plays out like a homoerotic medieval-style Burberry ad.<\/p>\n

While sexy Arthur broods in the distance, other less qualified contenders vie for the sword and the kingdom.<\/p>\n

But they all fail, of course, and must bend a knee to the once and future king.<\/p>\n

Then Guinevere enters along with a Lancelot-like figure who seems to compete with Arthur for Gwen’s attention. Which ends with a bloody homoerotic bacchanal. As one does.<\/p>\n

Stereogum<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

Directed by NYSU, the visual accompaniment to “Restless” is befitting of its name; each shot traverses different stylistic leanings, jumping from found footage to medieval sword-in-the-stone-type scenes to a celestial rave and back again.<\/p>\n
