On the heels of releasing his fourth LP Bones, experimental artist/producer Son Lux (a.k.a. Ryan Lott) has shared the video for the brooding album standout “You Don’t Know Me.”
Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany—the video’s protagonist—sits stone-faced and detached through various relationship rituals with her partner. That is, of course, when she’s not elsewhere engaging in more, um, interesting pastimes (including the creepiest game of duck-duck-goose you’ve ever seen).
Without giving too much away, imagine a cult that exists somewhere between American Horror Story and Beyoncé‘s video for “Countdown.”
About the slightly terrifying video, director Nathan Johnson said:
When Ryan first sent the album over… this was the song that I kept coming back to. It touches a pretty raw nerve, and we wanted to explore the song in terms of the empty rituals we often see in relationships and, to a larger degree, religion. We wrote the video specifically for Tatiana and designed everything around her performance. She’s such a phenomenal actor, and she brings something so compelling to the role – this powerful figure who is stuck in the vacancy of routines that have lost their meaning.
Bones is out now on Glassnote.
