Pig-Man returns! Last week we covered the first video from Swedish singer-songwriter José González's forthcoming album In Our Nature, a clip directed by Andreas Nilsson, best known for work with the Knife. Now comes the second video, for Nature's "Killing for Love", and, as promised, it continues the (Matthew Barney-inspired?) series. Last time we saw the half-human main character as he wandered the countryside in a melancholy mood until things took a fiery turn at the end. The NSFW follow-up (our man is nude throughout) amplifies the grotesqueries-- he chases balls that embed themselves in his skin, breaks into a cabin and fondles some kind of trophy, and then finally wraps himself in foil. Through it all, González intently fingerpicks, barely taking his eyes from the fretboard.
