Rock duo The Kills shared the music video for “Siberian Nights,” the third song we’ve heard from their forthcoming fifth studio album Ash & Ice. The video was directed by actor Giovanni Ribisi.

I’ve always looked at videos from a cultural perspective. Whether it’s about a single, cultural event or some facet of the band. Over the course of making this video, what was there evolved into being something more abstract. However, during its early conception, I was enamored with a John Houston film called The Misfits. Ernst Haas was there during the making of it, taking photographs. His pictures were some of the many references for the video. The Kills have always been one of my favorite bands. Their music is undeniable. It was a pleasure and a privilege for me to work on this.

Guitarist Jamie Hince wrote the track while he took some time off and traveled the Trans-Siberian Express. Watch the lush video above. Ash & Ice is out June 3rd.
