Grammy-winning director Trish Sie is at it again. The videographer/choreographer who masterminded OK Go’s “treadmill” video (for the song “Here It Goes Again” has taken on the Meg Myers song “Curbstomp” and done all kinds of fun stuff. So to speak. Produced by Jason Baum, filmed by Nic Sadler and from a concept by Elizabeth Laime, the video imagines Myers communing with an army of stuffed toys before all hell breaks loose. Myers is pretty good at playing the damaged diva in song – as her free EP “Daughter in the Choir” attests – and the video smartly trades on the notion that childhood can leave a mark, and that sometimes the prettiest things can do you harm. Team anyone?
