Watch Frankie Cosmos Flex With a Bodybuilder in New “Sinister” Video
Frankie Cosmos has shared a new music video for “Sinister,” from her latest release, Next Thing. Directed by Eliza Doyle, the video features Frankie and bodybuilder Don Martone in matching outfits and braids. They dance and flex like each other’s reflection. Watch it and read Frankie Cosmos’ statement on the video below.
Frankie Cosmos has added new dates to her tour. After a European run, she will return to North America in October for some shows. See her updated itinerary below. Read our feature “Frankie Cosmos: Pop Miniaturist.”
The music video for “Sinister” was made by my friend Eliza Doyle, who is a video artist. Eliza had been working with Don Martone (the bodybuilder) on a movie called True Barbarian and she thought he’d make a good alter-ego for Frankie, wanting to play with the idea of fragmentary personas. I relate to the idea because for me it’s about having very different sides to myself, and needing those different personas to accept each other / co-exist.
