Neko Case’s last album The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You came out over two years ago, but with a recent boxset collecting her discography on vinyl, now seems like the right time for a new video.
The video, directed by Austin Vesely, features a cast of choreographed kids dancing behind Case, whose body is flickering like a lightning-bolt Lichtenstein. The song, which we named one of Case’s “12 Best Songs,” has a vaguely similar melody to Bruce Springsteen’s song “Bobby Jean,” which seems oddly appropriate given both songs feature cryptic lyrics on gender.
