Synopsis

A young sex worker leaves with a client after a night in Los Angeles, only to discover that he wants to introduce her to his wife. The encounter unfolds through dim streets, motel rooms, and the hazy Malibu coastline, creating an uneasy contrast between domestic normality and sexual transaction. The couple's strangely warm behavior toward their guest makes the situation increasingly disorienting, while the video's subdued, nocturnal imagery gives the song's wistful electronic pop an atmosphere of isolation and emotional instability.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video features Jessica Collins as the sex worker and Brendan Sexton III as her client. Sexton was known for roles in films including "Welcome to the Dollhouse," "Boys Don't Cry," and "Empire Records."
  • Production took place overnight, beginning in Malibu at dusk before moving to Hollywood for filming between approximately 4 a.m. and 8 a.m.
  • The camera broke during the first setup. The crew briefly considered shooting the remainder of the video on an iPhone before finding another solution.
  • The band and its label, Innovative Leisure, supported the video's provocative treatment, despite its mature subject matter.
  • The video was released in November 2013, around the time Superhumanoids were preparing for their first UK show.
  • "So Strange" appears on Superhumanoids' 2013 album "Exhibitionists."
