Despite releasing an accompanying video for every track off her two EPs, plus the opulent Two Weeks video, Twigs has withheld from an uninhibited showcase of her dance talent on film – save for the recent Google Glass commercial, soundtracked by Video Girl. Now that track receives the proper video treatment, with strong aesthetic scope yet still remarkably different from anything Twigs has released visually before. The song deals with Twigs being recognised for her past as a pop backup dancer, the film clip channelling this talent in a confronting setting, putting it lightly. The song clicks percussively, one of LP1’s cuts that call to mind EP2, despite Arca not adding production here. But yeah, Twigs is probably one of the most remarkable performers of 2014, and definitely the best live dancer – hell, back in August I saw Twigs live two days after I saw Usher, and I stand by that statement.
