Drummer Brooks Headley's Cookbook Fancy Desserts Gets Absurd Eric Wareheim-Directed Trailer Starring Ian Svenonius

Brooks Headley has drummed for several punk and hardcore bands, including Universal Order of Armageddon and Born Against. He’s also the Executive Pastry Chef at New York City’s only four-star Italian restaurant, Del Posto. His cookbook Fancy Desserts is out October 21 via W.W. Norton. Pitchfork’s Brandon Stosuy recently interviewed Headley about the book in his column “Show No Mercy“.

Today, Headley’s cookbook received a very absurd trailer, which was directed by Eric Wareheim (of Tim and Eric fame). It stars Wareheim’s “boyhood hero” Ian Svenonius (of Nation of Ulysses/the Make-Up/Chain and the Gang), who spends most of the clip speaking about desserts with a hushed reverence. “Praise the lord of sweets,” he says.

Fancy Desserts features a foreword from Steve Albini and an essay by Svenonius. Learn more about the book here.
