Track DescriptionAvailable in:
A music video for the song was directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard.
"Maxine Peake plays a woman who retreats to her hotel room to sink into alcoholic despair, in Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's new video for Ex:Re, the solo project of Elena Tonra, lead singer of Daughter.
While Tonra appears on the room's TV screen, watching her as she performs her song The Dazzler, Peake - brilliant in so many TV dramas and movies, from Shameless to the David Slade-directed Black Mirror episode Metalhead – gives a characteristically powerful performance as a woman apparently driven to self-destruction.
The video was shot at the Town Hall Hotel in East London - which becomes The Dazzler depicted in Tonra's lyrics. It's a reunion with the singer for the directing duo, who created a triptych of videos for Daughter's second album Not To Disappear. Forysth and Pollard were inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic movie Vertigo, infusing this piece with a muted colour palette to reflect their character's spiralling inward journey. And then ending on a jolting moment of surrealism." (David Knight, Promonews)
