Over a year after the release of Rapprocher, Brooklyn synthpop trio Class Actress is still hard at work promoting their debut album. In addition to touring here and there, now they’ve released a music video for “Need To Know.”

Directed by Jessica Lauretti, the deteriorated VHS vibe of the clip certainly fits with the song’s woozy, distorted sound, but there’s more that you need to know. So much more, as the band explains on their website:

“‘Need to Know’ is a psychosexual fairy tale, filtered through a dreamlike remembrance of late night 80’s perfume commercials and pay-per view soft-core thrillers. The female protagonist waits in a state of drugged-out, compulsive suspense, while a faceless driver relentlessly approaches through the night. His intentions are possessive and malicious, but in the end she turns the tables on him, revealing herself to be both Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. All the effects are based on the slowing down or speeding up of time, to create the sense of non-linear disorientation we experience in nightmares and destructive love affairs.”
