George Lewis Jr. ruffles his trademark coiffure and spills some blood in Twin Shadow’s new, Keith Musil-directed video for “Five Seconds,” a motorcycle odyssey that turns into a crowbar-aided gang brawl. Indeed, dapper leather and studded denim get ripped up as the band locks horns with a posse of masked, woodland hooligans in a grisly, slow-motion takedown. The scene came from a novel written by Lewis and his friend Eric Green entitled Night of the Silver Sun. The former’s forthcoming sophomore full-length under the Twin Shadow moniker, Confess, is due July 10 on 4AD.
