You Can't Unsee the Sex Doll Factory in The Belle Game's "Low" Video

What is a human, even? Many works of the past few months have gone hard on that question and because we're morbidly curious creatures, we'll never be satisfied until we plumb newer depths of abstracted anxiety about our physical identities. The Belle Game's new video for "Low" takes a less sci-fi approach to those idea, exploring the occasional impersonality of sexual contact through unvarnished, clinical shots of dildos and sex dolls being assembled on factory lines. Imagine whole rows of fake, detailed dongs and you have a good idea what to expect.

Here's the band on the clip:

"Low is about the empty feeling I had when continually fucking people because I felt it was my role to be of service to them. The neglect of my own humanity served my deeper desire of being accepted. For this, it was necessary to dress up feelings of ugliness with overcompensated feelings of “love” and higher purpose. Kevan Funk has given the narrative visual representation through capturing the disconnect, coldness, and tenderness found in objects that offer acceptance and connection in place of true company. These objects can be toxic, but they reflect our most human needs. They provide comfort, they fulfill desires, and they speak to a fundamental yearning for intimacy. They are honest, and in that sense, they are beautiful.” Watch the "Low" video above and check out the Belle Game's upcoming tour dates below.
