Xiu Xiu returns today with a new video for the track “OH NO,” from the band’s recently released LP of the same name out now on Polyvinyl. The song features the actress/singer Susanne Sachsse, and as the title might suggest, it serves as a warning that life hurts. While the trio of previous visual efforts from OH NO were directed by Xiu Xiu’s Angela Seo, this new video finds the pair collaging together a collection of epic fails from off the internet. Jamie Stewart explains:
“While recording bass parts for the song ‘Oh No’ (feat. the venerable Susanne Sachsse) with Greg Saunier and Jherek Bischoff, they both kept making jokes about how the perfect video for it would be clips of people slipping on banana peels. Obviously this is a good idea. However, to my surprise, there really are not that many. Numerous other fail videos come up instead. Do not drive your truck on a frozen lake, drink from a lake inhabited by crocodiles if you are a cheetah, do not do ANYTHING at all if you are under the age of 3 .”
