Flavorwire

Between the controversy-courting cover to their forthcoming album, Push the Sky Away, and the much-remarked-upon, Ke$ha-esque title of its lead single, “We No Who U R,” we might have expected something sensational out of a collaboration between Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Gaspar Noé. In fact, the French director best known for a lengthy, brutal rape scene (in 2002′s Irréversible) and a neon-colored, drug-fueled, Tibetan Book of the Dead-inspired exploration of the afterlife (2009′s Enter the Void) went a more subtle route in his video for “We No Who U R.” Like a horror movie that never escalates past the initial setup, the clip shows a silhouetted figure traipsing slowly through the nighttime woods — visuals befitting the notably un-Ke$ha-esque song’s slow, eerie tone.
