Black Honey 'Psycho' by Harv Frost

Rob Ulitski - 13th May 2025

Harv Frost directs a gripping promo for indie rock outfit Black Honey where lead singer Izzy Baxter Phillips is a prisoner, confronted with a barrage of distressing scenes.

Rather than Hitchcock - as the songtitle might suggest - the video for Psycho pays homage to Kubrick - in particular the notorious 'aversion therapy' scenes in A Clockwork Orange. Like Alex in the movie, Izzy is similarly strapped to a chair, repeatedly forced to watch a fast-cut montage of traumatic imagery, monitored by Establishment males, played by her bandmates.   

Izzy falls into a hallucinatory cycle, catching eye of a shocking image - and it is quite a shock - as she is led to the chair. She gives a captivating performance as her mental state deteriorates, and then escapes her captivity to find the paraphanalia driving her torture.

But is she a Psycho? Harv Frost draws the viewer closer to Izzy and keeps the viewer guessing right till the end.
