Track Description
Available in:
"Sacrilege" is the first single from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' fourth album Mosquito released on February 25, 2013 as a digital download. It was recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas and produced by TV on the Radio's David Andrew Sitek and English record producer Nick Launay.

The music video was directed by French collective Megaforce and premiered on March 26, 2013. The video stars English model and actress Lily Cole. The video consists of a chronologically reversed sequence of events outlining the rationale and events leading to a group of people in a small town shooting a man and burning a promiscuous woman (Cole) alive. The band does not appear in the video.

"Megaforce are not exactly strangers to controversy. But the French directing team's video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Sacrilege is a different story from, say, the comic grossness of Is Tropical's The Greeks. This is very dark indeed. In the video we witness the life of a highly promiscuous girl, played by Lily Cole, and her appalling death (together with one of her lovers) at the hands of a vengeful small town American community. And it's told in reverse. Like a Jim Thompson novel directed by David Lynch, with a touch of Gaspar Noé's Irreversible, it strikes like a bowling ball. And you can put that down to the quality of the performances, the skill of the direction, and the fact it's still a proper showcase for the Yeah Yeah Yeah's searing song. Brilliant - just arguably one of the most disturbing music videos ever made." (David Knight, Promonews)
