New José González video features porker

We finally understand why Miss Piggy is such a floozy—her selection of swine is pretty grim.

Stereogum revealed José González’s video for “Down the Line,” which features a lonely, car-burning pigman. We’re quite unsure as to why director Andreas Nilsson would choose a demented grown Muppet as his protagonist—or why it’s pining for “Ella.”

But the music! The glorious music! “Down the Line” is fresh off In Our Nature, scheduled for a September release.
