Watch Against Me!’s Sixties-Inspired ‘333’ Video Starring Natasha Lyonne
Two weeks before Against Me! unleash their new LP Shape Shift With Me, Laura Jane Grace and company have unveiled the video for first single “333,” starring Orange Is the New Black‘s Natasha Lyonne.
In the video, directed by Better Off Dead actress Ione Skye, Lyonne stars as a Sixties-era housewife who escapes from the everyday monotony of her marriage through fantasies that represent the era’s tender balance between repression and free sexuality. Welsh actor Andrew Howard, from shows like Bates Motel, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hell on Wheels, plays Lyonne’s husband in the uneasy video.
“This project attracted a lot of talented people: an incredible director of photography, producer, costume designer, editor and set designer,” Skye said of “333” in a statement. “I felt very supported and inspired.”
In addition to “333,” Shape Shift With Me also features the previously released tracks “Haunting, Haunted, Haunts” and the sci-fi inspired “Crash.” Shape Shift With Me, the follow-up to 2014’s Transgender Dysphoria Blues, is due out September 16th.
