Mini Mansions have debuted the NSFW video for 'Vertigo' featuring Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner. Check it out below.
The LA band, featuring Queen Of The Stone Age's bassist Michael Shuman, are good friends with Turner, and have brought him on stage for their gigs in the past. In the 'Vertigo' video, Alex Turner sings his black-hearted verse and shares the video alongside a series of topless women, sharp suits and a healthy dose of skulls.
"The night before the shoot we played this strange private party for Saint Laurent with Bleached and Sky Ferreira, where we each played 15 minute sets," Shuman told Pitchfork, who premiered the video. "So there was plenty of time for debauchery afterward. Us and Alex managed to stumble onto set for the shoot at 9am with a half dozen naked ladies waiting to partake in the shoot. I'd say it was a pretty ideal setup for the making of this video."

Speaking to Gigwise about the collaboration, Shuman said that he added a 'sexy gangster vibe'.
"We thought about a couple of different things, and we were in the studio looking for some kind of different character that hadn't yet been touched on by Tyler or my voice and we actually heard some kind of British-type thuggish kind of voice in the track, on that second verse," Mikey 'Shoes' Shuman told Gigwise.
"I always thought it as some kind of character out of a guy Ritchie movie, that's how I always saw that voice coming in. It's a very West Coast hip-hop-influenced song, so we wanted to give it that sense of different dudes coming in and giving it that different verse. Alex has more of like a sexy, swagger that what we were initially going for, which turned out better than anything we could have imagined, really."
Mini Mansion’s new album ‘The Great Pretenders’ is out now.
