Liily’s Music Video for “Wash” is a Rampaging Monster Feature Worthy of the Song

The claymation video for Liily’s new single “Wash” begins with a figure standing in the foreground like an omniscient narrator describing the action unfolding in the valley below the Hollywood sign. The frantic pace of the song and urgency of the vocals give the scene a surreal quality as we see scenes of fast food drive-ups and car culture flexes, cyclops robots and monsters rampaging through the landscape growing from the aforementioned robot into something much larger as it feeds on the populace and anything else in its path. Our car racing heroes come to the rescue with shovels, a katana, a pistol and explosives. In the end we see the word “Wash” appear on the screen before the credits. Clearly the name of the song but perhaps a rascally nod to someone needing to clean the monster blood and guts off the Hollywood sign. Musically its noisy post-punk in the vein of Liars or HEALTH if they went through a hardcore and psychedelic garage rock phase and as bombastic and wonderfully rampaging as the music video.
