Watch the new Arctic Monkeys video for "Suck It And See"

by Nicole Villeneuve

Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders stars in the new Arctic Video “Suck It And See,” taken from their most recent album of the same name. Have you heard this song? It sounds different than you’d probably expect with a name like that—all sleepy and swoony and stuff. The video, though, in its raunch and debauch. is a closer representation.

Directed by Focus Creeps, the video is said to be a “inspired by past ‘lost weekends’ in LA.” What that means is drugs and sex and drama, apparently. “From Lennon to Lemmy, the music video for ‘Suck It And See’ imagines: what if a rock and roller were lost altogether and never came back? The video is a behind the scenes fragments of Matt Helders’ outlaw ‘lost weekend’ out in the Wild West.”
