Tahliah Barnett, the London-based musician who goes by FKA Twigs, released her debut full-length, LP1, back in August. It's a tangled, torturous work, so it's no surprise her visuals tend to mimic those feelings. Today, Barnett released a self-directed video for the crushing album track "Pendulum," which pairs Twigs' breathy whisperings with a backbeat that sounds like marbles scattering across a tin floor.

FKA Twigs began her career as a dancer, and her physical work and visuals frequently trend towards dark, sensual material that challenges perceptions of dominance. Her video for "Papi Pacify," off 2013's EP2, featured Twigs wrapped in a man's embrace, unable to move, while his hands pried open her mouth. Her recent visual for "Video Girl" had her dancing seductively around a man about to be executed. Barnett doesn't seem to be interested in moving towards a feel-good aesthetic, but the "Pendulum" video reminds us that sometimes oddball CGI will make you feel good anyway.
