Kim Deal releasing her first solo record is a noteworthy event in itself but this video for "Big Ben Beat" contained an additional little treat: it's directed by Richard Ayoade! It also features appearances by Lydia Fox, Ida Ayoade, Esmé Ayoade and Fay Milton. It's an Ayoade short film, in multiple ways! I don't think he's credited as director on anything since The Double in 2013, so it's nice to see that seal be broken.*

If you haven't seen the "Nobody Loves You More" video , be sure to catch that next.

* To be fair, he's been very busy since 2013 - just not busy directing.
