“El Naco” is up there with “Support Our Troops” and “I Luv Abortion”
in Xiu Xiu’s discography in terms of pure discomfort factor. It’s a
dissonant, ugly song and now there is a fittingly unsettling video for
it that continues the band’s recent trend of premiering videos in
atypical places. While the porn and kittens mash-up of “Black Dick” first showed up on Pornhub and the murder-obsessed video for “Stupid In The Dark” debuted on an even filthier site, this John Clark-directed video for “El Naco” premiered by the horror movie blog Bloody Disgusting.
It’s a tamer video than those in terms of violence and sex, but is
arguably the most unsettling one of the three. Focusing on a BDSM scene
between two people, most of the disturbing stuff is implied and edited
to cut away at just the right time (something that was done first and
best by Psycho, though a similar technique in Takashi Miike’s Audition
seems like the more appropriate influence). Although there are plenty
of times Xiu Xiu have transcended public assumptions about something and
found beauty in it, this video is pure horror movie creep.
