Deathface Continues a Decades Long Tradition of Creepy "Warm Leatherette" Covers

In 1978, future Mute Records founder Daniel Miller wrote a creepy spoken-word synth-punk tune named "Warm Leatherette," inspired by an equally creepy novel titled Crash by J.G Ballard about a group of people who achieve sexual stimulation from car crashes. The track has been covered by everyone from Grace Jones to Trent Reznor, and now we can add another fine rendition to this pantheon of gothy fetishism set to song: Deathface.

The health goth proponent's version takes the tune to industrially-tingled (yes, tingled) territory, and the video is both dark and sexy -- The kind of sexy that gives you a chubby but makes you want to call your therapist. In it, a posse of miscreants stand around. That's about it, but somehow it manages to be wholly engrossing and fits the tone of the track like a glove.
