Jack White surprised fans with the release of a music video for his latest single ‘Archbishop Harold Holmes’, starring actor John C Reilly. The single, taken from White’s most recent album No Name, recently ascended to No. 1 on the Mediabase Alternative Top 40 chart.
Filmed at a church in Los Angeles, the video was directed by Gilbert Trejo and also features Cherry Glazer’s Sami Perez, YSL Beauty model and frontwoman of the Paranoyds Staz Lindes, Misha Lindes of Sadgirl, and Starcrawler’s Arrow de Wilde, among others.
The video features Reilly as the eponymous religious leader delivering an electrifying sermon to his congregation; with White sharing that he gave the actor and Trejo ‘complete creative control’ after Reilly approached him to say he’d love to play Archbishop Harold Holmes in a music video.
Reilly’s appearance in the video comes after he recently launched his own music career under the pseudonym Mister Romantic, releasing his debut album of vaudeville reminiscent songs, inspired by an alter-ego character which attracted him to the film industry in the first place.
No Name marked White’s sixth solo studio effort. He also has a string of US festival dates lined up for this summer, culminating in the CBGB Fest in New York on September 27th.
