One of our new favs, and soon to become yers too, Bile Sister shares a new video for “Can’t Backstab Me Baby” from her new album, Living on the Edge, now available via We Are Time (Chandra). This is the synth-punk project of Toronto-based multimedia artist and producer Julie Reich, best known as one-half of microtonal rock duo Body Breaks and also as a member of legendary ’80s NYC post-punk band CHANDRA.

“Can’t Backstab Me Baby” is a throbbing blockbuster of distortion and pulsating bass. The video is a collaboration with artist Zoja Smutney whose work explores how architecture creates movement through the body. Zoja stars in the video and tracks the song’s slow build into a frenzied boiling point against a stark concrete backdrop.

Julie Reich says about the video: “We filmed for just a few hours in West Hollywood park. Visually, the location was perfect because of the symmetry and symbolism of the stairs. They represent struggle but also they symbolize movement and the idea of going up or down in life and having the power to choose the direction. The yellow tape and the pylons on either side of the staircase were perfect symbolism for being held back, restricted, having fear, but also, through movement, being able to release oneself from that restriction.”
