The videos for “Scissor” and “No 1 Against the Rush” were solid, unique efforts from the Liars. It’s hard to think of another band that’d take the story of a man lost at sea and turn it into a story of nature rebelling in the strangest — and still threatening — way. Or make Los Angeles sinister in a way that Michael Mann hasn’t ever been able to accomplish. Their newest video for “Brats” off the underwhelming WIXIW is a huge departure from past efforts, just barely skirting copyright infringement lawsuits with two horribly mangled avatars for Elmer Fudd and (a vaguely anatomically correct?) Bugs Bunny hunting each other. It’s nightmare fuel for your childhood, but still immensely watchable.
