Watch Yeasayer's strange new video for "Madder Red" here, starring Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and directed by Andreas Nilsson (The Knife, Fever Ray).
I feel like the video is sort of based off of the lyrics of the song.... which appear to be about being in a relationship with someone who you don't feel that you deserve ("it's getting hard to keep pretending i'm worth your time", "if my vices become a burden... cast me from your home", etc). And, in the video, that monster-thing clearly would feel undeserving of someone like Kristin Bell
Great video, regardless. And Kristin Bell... just wow... could should be any more awesome?
That video is seriously disturbing. I think it's provocative, in a different way that Yeasayer's music can be provocative-- or at least original.
Not a Kristen Bell fan, but when I make myself look at it objectively, she did a great job. I won't watch it again, though, because... wow, yeah, seriously disturbing.
