Holybones 'What You Talk' by Soo Hahn
David Knight - 19th June 2025
Struggling for vulnerability, a frustrated dancer begins tearing away the facade of their own identity in Soo Hahn's hypnotic video for enigmatic alt-electronic outfit Holybones.
The video for What You Talk is all about the dancer in a white studio, their continuous movement and rapidfire editing mainly obscuring their features. The level of suspense continues as their blank masklike visage is revealed and then the dancer begins to peel away at the prosthetics.
“For the video, we wanted to see a dancer bursting with attitude in blank space," Holybones have commented. "We wanted it to be bare and focussed entirely on the performance, just like the song. We called up Soo [Hahn] who put together an incredible idea centred around layers of identity being peeled away; they absolutely crushed it."
