The New Pornographers last year issued the studio album, Brill Bruisers, via Matador Records. Included on the LP was the song “Champions of Red Wine,” of which an official video has been made available.
Directorial team Leblanc + Cudmore filmed the video. Director Scott Cudmore shared this regarding the creation of the video:
“Obviously there’s a debt to the Paris, Texas locale of peep shows here and that was sort of the jumping off point for the video. I had this idea of a rambling, drunk loner in a foreign environment – somebody who can’t really connect to anything except for on a very superficial level. All the interactions he has are forced, more like transactions than anything. It’s a portrait of this guy, a few hours, a couple of days, in his life as he flails wildly around – his only means of communication being physical. The video is a fragment of this character. We only know him in the moment, not where he comes from or where he is going.”

The New Pornographers play tomorrow, Friday May 29 at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain.
