Black and white? Check. Dark, mysterious, strange? Check, check, and check. Beautiful bodies touching and/or grinding up on each other in slow motion? Check. Insanely close close-ups of indistinguishable body parts? Check. A colorful and/or glittery substance falling from the ceiling and covering said bodies at the end of the video? Check.
Yep — it’s definitely a Banks music video.
And just like her lyrics suggest, Banks is not here to mess around. That’s why she has stuck to her proven and tested formula for visual elaboration and instead chose to surprise us with a slightly different take on her sound for the new track. “Beggin for Thread,” though still sultry and dark, is a little bit faster and a lot more danceable than what we are used to from the LA vixen. Which of course makes it the perfect track to angry-dance to in the bedroom at night while channeling one’s own inner warrior goddess. (No, I’m not suggesting that I did that…)
Watch the video below.
Banks’ new album Goddess is out on Harvest Records on September 8, 2014.
