Not gonna lie, we have no idea what’s going on in Lykke Li’s new music video. On the other hand, it got us listening to “Gunshot” again, so we’re not exactly complaining.
We’ve got: giant fault line, children playing, domestic disputes, dogs, and an apocalyptic biker gang. Lykke Li dances her way through it all, wearing a trench coat and face paint. Oh. Twerking. There’s also twerking. We welcome any and all interpretation, take your best shot.
Anyway, video aside, it’s a great second look at “Gunshot”, an absolute murderer of a song from an absolute murderer of an album. Li’s recent release, I Never Learn has plenty of similar gems, absolutely none of which should be listened to if you’re feeling emotionally fragile.
