CREEP - Days

The glittery Ouija Board in this Warren Fischer-directed video for CREEP’s debut single “Days” offers a great central image for the duo of Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard, the New Yorkers who coined”rape gaze” then quashed it: Their sound’s midnight dark (upside down cross, hoods, blood, gags, spooky forest, levitation, Victorian mansion), but also nightclub polished (disco prismatics, strobes, glitter rainstorm, Fischerspooner association). Guest vocals by the xx’s Romy Madley Croft work both angles.
