LIARS: THE OVERACHIEVERS

Following up their cryptic video for “Scissor” off Sisterworld, Liars are back with a new video for “The Overachievers”: a low budget American Psycho-esc treatment directed  by the band’s Aaron Hemphill.  On the surface, like the sarcastic lyrics in the song first suggest, everything is quite banal for the protagonist.  ” I bought a house with you, we settled down WITH CATS, there wasn’t much to do, so we just sat and watched the T.V. — and smoked weed”…but keep watching/listening and there is something far more sinister lurking beneath. Cue dripping bag of blood.
