Lena Dunham Directs Latest Video For Bleachers' 'Don't Take The Money' Feat. Lorde

Talk about an aesthetic.

Hot off finishing up her HBO series "Girls", Lena Dunham has directed her first new project, a video for the Bleachers single "Don't Take The Money".

The video stars Bleachers frontman Jack Anotoff, who has been Dunham's boyfriend since 2012, as well as Alia Shawkat, star of "Arrested Development" and more recently the breakout dark comedy series "Search Party".

The single also features backing vocals by Kiwi pop icon Lorde, who recently also collaborated with Anotoff writing her recent releases "Green Light" and "Liability". Anotoff also has songwriting credits on tracks with Sia, Troye Sivan, Sara Bareilles, Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift (and that's just to name a few!).

Dunham's video follows Anotoff as he prepares to get married in a ceremony that looks like it was jumped straight out of a Wes Anderson dreamscape, officiated by Shawkat. But things don't go to plan, with his bride-to-be running off with a volatile woman who punches Anotoff into a crowd of hot pink mannequins. You know, standard wedding stuff.

Listen to the whole track in the clip above.
