Baby In Vain Take You to the Sexiest Dinner Party of Your Life in Their New Video For "Muscles"

Who doesn't want to be waited on by a topless buff henchman in Calvin Klein's and a ski mask?

You know that dream where you attend a really extravagant dinner party filled with a sickening buffet of sugary sweets, seafood and champagne, and you're being waited on by a topless buff henchman in Calvin Klein's and a ski mask, and you later take selfies on his lap and rub oysters on his nipples? Yeah, you know the one. Well Copenhagen's Baby In Vain have made a video just like it. It's for a track called "Muscles" and we're premiering it below.

The track sounds like a visceral combination of Sleater Kinney, Babes in Toyland, and Queens of the Stone Age with boss-ass results. It makes sense, then, that in the video we see the Danish teenagers take control in a camp display of power and sexual energy. It's like Rocky Horror meets Spring Breakers.

Of the video, director Frederik Valentin says: "Just like the lyrics, the video is meant to be preposterous. This is 2k15, simple pleasures derive from complicated absurdities.”
