It’s a big day for Yeah Yeah Yeahs fans, with releases of a new video for the choral, creepy “Sacrilege”, the first single from upcoming album Mosquito. The video was directed by Megaforce and features British supermodel turned-actress Lily Cole. With near-nudity, the video is slightly NSFW.
Cole has a role to play a sexually permiscuous newlywed, whose devious ways lead her into the hands of a deranged cult. A word of warning, the narrative plays in reverse, the anti-chronological nature of the clip keeps the viewer guessing throughout, while the themes in play here suit both the sonic and lyrical countenance of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new outing perfectly.
