Grimes Unleashes Video For "Go"

Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, has shared the video for “Go”, a single that she previously announced was originally written for Rihanna. Watch it below. It was co-directed by Boucher and her brother Mac under the production alias Roco-Prime, and was inspired by Dante’s Inferno. (That’s Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter reading the opening lines of the Inferno in the beginning of the video.)  

Boucher also shared a statement about the video:

It’s our take on Dante’s inferno. The circles of hell reflect more contemporary issues though.  We shot a bunch at the salton sea which is basically an apocalyptic wasteland filled with dead fish because of human carelessness, the bullet hole hallway a la korn freak on a leash etc etc.   If you look closely you can find clues.  Haha, but in the usual fashion it is also abstract enough to just be a trippy visual accompaniment to the song.
