“The video, directed by Caleb Young with Julien Scherliss handling direction, DP, and production design, drives the point home without bludgeoning it. The band performs inside a dim industrial chamber, fused to apparatus, man becoming machine while machine develops a nasty little whiff of flesh. Disembodied hands conjure images as though reality itself were being processed through some secret lab where Cronenberg is on one monitor and The X-Files is running on another. There is a little nod to Closer in the organic matter rubbing up against cold mechanics, though Lamprey feels less like sex than soul extraction.”
