Primal Scream has a pretty solid model history - lead singer Bobby Gillepsie's married to super stylist Katy England which means getting Kate Moss into their video was nothing, though getting her to sing back-up was kind of a coup.
But now the band's taken to killing their model friends - or at least Lily Cole and Alice Dellal.
Their newest video, Can't Go Back, features Gillepsie strolling down a creepy hallway watching the girls choke/drown/die pretty deaths. According to DazedDigital, the video's inspiration came from classic Italian horror films and Gillepsie had his own ideas on how he wanted to kill off each girl, which didn't fly with production.
So he just watches instead.
Oh, and the models were cast when director Kim Gehrig asked herself, "Who will look hot even when dead?"
