Synopsis

Set against the nocturnal streets of Los Angeles, the video follows a methodical, middle-aged man as he stalks and abducts the members of Liars one by one. Each musician is bundled into plastic, dragged through the city, and subjected to increasingly brutal treatment inside the captor's van. The restrained pacing and grim imagery turn the song into a disturbing portrait of urban menace, while the unresolved ending leaves the man's motives and the band's fate deliberately unclear.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video accompanied "No.1 Against The Rush," the first single from Liars' 2012 album WIXIW.

• The band intentionally gave the video's creator broad freedom to interpret the song without factual references or detailed creative input from the group.

• Liars were particularly drawn to the idea of filming at night and presenting a portrait of Los Angeles, separate from the abduction storyline.

• The band described the shoot as unusually easy for them despite the on-screen violence. Their members were wrapped in plastic, dragged through broken glass, and subjected to simulated strangulation.

• The single release included remixes by Vince Clarke and Matmos, along with the exclusive B-side "We'll Never Learn."

• The video's atmosphere was widely noted for its thriller and serial-killer qualities, with the menace coming from its quiet, procedural presentation rather than fast-paced action.
