5 Mullets That Directly Correlate To Their Wearer’s Power As Selected By Autosuggest

The latest instalment to his forthcoming debut album 'Tame Harm', comes Autosuggest's new music video for current single 'Graphic'.

“The music video is essentially a joke that got out of control. Jack McFarlane, the bass player for the live band who’s played with me since we were teenagers, decided to shave an absolutely mighty mullet to his head,” Autosuggest says.

Unable to get such stylish hair matched with a self-assured expression off his mind, the obscure video became clearer in Autosuggest's eyes forming into a classic '80s commercial.

“The man (McFarlane) has a very strong poe-faced expression and I kept mulling over the idea of him doing some sort of arty video to praise his distinguished look.

“I found a perfume bottle that looked the part, watched a bunch of awful compilations of '80s commercials; making 'Graphic' a perfume commercial seemed like the obvious choice because really, how the hell do you sell a smell on TV?”

Throw together a mullet, a daring expression, '80s inspiration, a striking scent and what do you get? A fever-dream kind of retro-haze, along with Autosuggest's directorial debut.

“When it came time to figuring out which video to do next, I decided I was going to try my hand at directing. I’ll be expecting a call from Calvin Klein any day now.”


To celebrate the marvellous hair that Jack maintains, Autosuggest shares his top 5 mullets that directly correlate to their wearer's power.

1: Jack ('Graphic' video)

Softly spoken, but carrying quite an attitude; I made an entire music video dedicated to his mullet. He definitely enjoyed it more than he lets on, so please for further bookings please reach out to me – he’s got quite the blue steel.

2: Steve Irwin

Not much needs to be said; a wholesome man, a wholesome cut.

3: Rihanna

I once watched a TED talk about how the smartest people tend to perform a kind of 'slow motion multitasking', where basically moving between disciplines or even mediums within those can garner particularly high quality output. Rihanna is a testament to that, not only excelling across media, but pulling off a mean mullet.

4: David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust

I don’t know how many people would dye their hair an aggressive crimson-ginger and don such a shear mullet, but if anyone would make that work it’s Bowie. The man actually had a surprising amount of mullets in his time, from Ziggy Stardust to 'Labyrinth', and much like his music he explored every crevice of the cut.

5: Peter Hook

I literally didn’t care about music till I heard his bass. Once, I saw him at The Metro and after making my way to the barrier singing ‘Ceremony’, copped what was definitely, probably, potentially a personalised head nod acknowledging my existence. Happy with that. New Order is a shell without him.

Autosuggest's debut album 'Tame Harm' will be released 24 May.
