J. Smith Cameron — perhaps best known as Succession's Gerri — is the star of Sleater-Kinney's new video for "Say It Like You mean It," the latest single from their upcoming 11th studio album Little Rope.

The black-and-white video, directed by Carrie Brownstein, finds Cameron in a diner as she sheds all notions of social propriety, dancing alone and lashing out. 

"The video tells the story of a woman who's lost all sense of what's appropriate," Brownstein said in a statement. "Sick with the alienation that stems from existing in a disparate emotional state from the person or people closest to her, she grapples with debilitating loss, desires to be seen, and dares you to leave."

"Say It Like You Mean It" followers lead single "Hell." Little Rope arrives January 19 on Loma Vista.
