Music video
Directed by Finn Keenan, the accompanying music video for "Greek Tragedy" premiered on YouTube on 15 January 2015. The video follows a young woman, portrayed by April Pearson, who becomes obsessed with the Wombats, culminating in her stalking and eventually murdering all of them. She then takes them to a warehouse and sets their corpses up like marionettes.[5][6] The band credited Keenan for imagining the concept of the video.[7] Knudsen said "it is refreshing sometimes to get a different sight on the song ... the video is not really what the song is about",[8] and Haggis elaborated that "It’s not actually about a stalker – fortunately that’s not reality."[7]
