Today, PAPER Magazine premiered The Julie Ruin’s new music video for “Mr. So and So,” directed by lead singer Kathleen Hanna. Watch the video below:
The video expands on the themes of tokenization discussed in the song, a standout from the band’s new release Hit Reset (out now on Hardly Art). The Julie Ruin drummer Carmine Covelli plays the eponymous “Mr. So and So,” a self-proclaimed “male feminist” whose actions speak louder than his words.
