In celebration of the release of her brand new mini-album Disco Automatic, Australian-based singer, DJ, artist and proud queer community member Tanzer has released the music video for “Destination Love” featuring queer art duo The Huxleys.
In the music video, directed and edited by The Huxleys, Tanzer travels through a backdrop of scenic destinations accompanied by a glamorous squad of queer characters including the incomparable duo The Huxleys. A Eurotrash fever dream, the video mixes kitsch Australiana with projections of a fictional ‘dolce vita holiday’ to Italy, their favorite destination. The hypercolor music video references everything from Leigh Bowery to Tweety Bird to Jean Paul Gaultier, ready to leave you in a glittery daze.
Of the collaboration Tanzer says: “The Huxleys and I spent our most awkward childhood years in the outskirts of suburban Australia, where building an escapist fantasy world in the mind was our way of feeling safe and hopeful. We all draw inspiration from glam rock, disco and queer art - and have been translating our inner world on the outside ever since - on the stages of festivals, galleries and glamorous parties all over the world. We also happen to be obsessed with the romance and majesty of Italy - where I also grew up in between stints in Aussie suburbia. It was time for an outrageous tribute.”
In addition to releasing “Destination Love,” Tanzer has released her mini-album Disco Automatic. The 6-song release shows the range of Tanzer’s multi-hyphenate abilities in all of its disco, pop, operatic majesty. The accompanying videos also dazzle with an array of themes from Drag (including Tanzer’s Drag King persona) to Sci-Fi and so much more.
