The just-released visuals break new ground in just how homoerotic pop music can really get.
Today marks the release of Fischerspooner's (helmed by queer pop daddy Casey Spooner) music video for their new single "Top Brazil," and we can confirm that while the song is incredibly sexy, the just-released visuals break new ground in just how homoerotic pop music can really get.
The video opens with Spooner waking from what appears to have been a night of raucous group sex, enveloped by the artfully draped male bodies of his fellow lovemakers. As "Top Brazil" progresses, the sensuality in the bed thickens, before jumping into a crowded, handsy sauna and, ultimately, into a dazzling laser light show just as exhilarating for the bright neon beams jetting through the air as for the quivering butts swinging across the screen.

"The video celebrates a pop aesthetic typically reserved for the female archetype and liberates the male form to be sexual, expressive and fearless," Spooner explained in a statement. He's right--the video is historically significant as perhaps the first time we've seen such an unabashedly sexual, fetishizing video through the lense of gay men at this level of pop culture influence and visual quality.
"Top Brazil" marks the live action debut of visionary queer director Tom C J Brown (teeth, t.o.m.), whose previous work has been largely in animation and illustration. His drawing-based, stylized vision translates into a music video that's as conscious and deliberate as it is erotic and full of undeniaby delicious eye candy. That for this bacchanalia he was able to create a piece with such a delicate, high level of artistry lends "Top Brazil" the credibility and clout to be considered a truly unprecedented repsresentation of homosexuality in mainstream media.
The song is off of Fischerspooner's forthcoming album Sir, produced entirely by Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), the group's first new record in nearly a decade. Sir is out February 16 and available for pre-order here.
