In Scissor Sisters new video for “Only the Horses,” each member of the band is covered in colourful paint, which is pulled off them by ropes pulled by four white horses.

The video was filmed in Lake Los Angeles and directed by Lorenzo Fonda. Apparently the band worked overtime to put the video together after the machine they used to distribute the paint malfunctioned.

The music video has a conceptual edge and you can really see the beauty of the paint peeling off in reverse, as it’s in slow motion.
