Talking Heads have premiered the first ever music video for their iconic hit single “Psycho Killer,” directed by filmmaker Mike Mills and starring Saoirse Ronan.
Regarding the video, the band said: “This video makes the song better—we LOVE what this video is NOT —it's not literal, creepy, bloody, physically violent or obvious.”
Added Mills: “This album literally changed what was possible in life for me, so to get to play with the subversive, uncategorizable beauty of Talking Heads, and to play with Saoirse who brought so much surprise, power, vulnerability and mischief to the party, it’s one of the best things I ever got to be a part of - still can’t believe it actually happened.”
Ronan concluded: “To simply be mentioned in the same breath as Talking Heads is hands down one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me, let alone making a video with the singular Mike Mills to accompany one of their most iconic songs—‘Psycho Killer.’ I have grown up listening to their music, so this truly is a childhood/teenage/lifelong dream come true. Mike, myself and the rest of the creative team had so much fun making this, and I can’t wait for Talking Heads fans to see it!”
