Skrillex shares nightmarish new video for 'Red Lips'

After premiering his remix of GTA's 'Red Lips' on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show yesterday, Skrillex has uploaded a video to accompany the track.

The OWSLA boss worked alongside director Grant Singer on the clip that took six months to make. It features a red-lipped woman being pursued through a fantasy world by a double-jointed mob of demonic dancers.

Skrillex spoke to Pitchfork about the thought process behind video, revealing: "The first thing that went through my head when I heard the song is that it starts out kind of pretty, but still dark. It feels almost schizophrenic. The way Sam Bruno, the vocalist, delivers the song, it feels like she's afraid of something.

"The idea was, what if this girl was sitting here by herself, and when the key changes in the song, the sky just went black and these creatures come out from behind and it's this nightmare she's running from? It's this girl in your head, and this is what she's seeing."
