The xx today release a brand new music video for “I Dare You.” Taken from their acclaimed, number one album I See You, the “I Dare You” video is directed by Alasdair McLellan in collaboration with The xx and CALVIN KLEIN Chief Creative Officer Raf Simons. The video was filmed in Los Angeles at Lloyd Wright’s Sowden house and John Lautner’s Rainbow House and continues The xx’s longstanding visual collaboration with McLellan, who also directed the band’s “On Hold” and “Say Something Loving” videos, in addition to their collaboration on the It Could Be Love photo book zine.

Raf Simons also has had a longstanding appreciation of The xx—Jamie Smith, Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim—and was drawn to the band’s recent work with McLellan. Seeing a connection between the videos and his own work at CALVIN KLEIN, Simons was pleased to collaborate on the third video of the trilogy, lending his eye to the architectural and atmospheric elements and utilizing an eclectic cast including Millie Bobby Brown, Ashton Sanders, Paris Jackson, Lulu and Ernesto Cervantes.

Speaking about the video, the band say:

“We are so happy to share our new video for ‘I Dare You’. Our love letter to Los Angeles, a city close to our hearts where we wrote and recorded parts of our album I See You. This is the third video our friend, the wonderful Alasdair McLellan, has directed for us. He collaborated with a hero of ours, Raf Simons, on the creative concept and direction. It was amazing to work with both of them and such a pleasure to meet and work with Millie, Paris, Ashton, Lulu and Ernesto! Thank you to CALVIN KLEIN and everyone involved. We hope you enjoy watching! xx The xx”
