Every time we swear we’ve maxed out on music videos from the Los Angeles quintet Babes, they outdo themselves. We’ve documented their smile-through-your-tears heartache plenty (see below), but here’s one more from their debut album “Untitled (Five Tears),” recently out on Barsuk. “I Want Love” is the lead track on the album, and the video, directed by Doug Lussenhop (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show”), is another spit-take waiting to happen. Imagine the Brady Bunch and some of their friends from the neighborhood getting together in the living room. An awkward makeout party, chicken and a nosy neighbor are also involved. Thankfully, their hotline, (470) BABES-77, is still working.
