With “Down,” the latest video from St. Vincent’s upcoming Daddy’s Home album, the grit of 1970s vinyl meets the grain of 1970s celluloid. Co-directed by St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) and Bill Benz, the “Down” clip features St. Vincent careening through a narrative in a seedy hotel, with scenes of reel-to-reel tape machines and ominous shadowy figures in the hallway adding to the mystery.

Down” follows “Pay Your Way In Pain” and “The Melting Of The Sun” — both performed on St. Vincent’s recent return to Saturday Night Live — as the final song to be released ahead of Daddy’s Home’s arrival.
