Vancouver-based audiovisual project Too Much Light has released a provocative queer reimagining of Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like A Hole,” weaving the industrial anthem together with the anti-capitalist themes of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Directed by Erik Gustafson and featuring production design by Jenny Kirby (whose credits include Avatar: The Last Airbender), the music video transforms Dickensian ghosts into drag icons, with Kirby appearing as an androgynous Jacob Marley and Parris Florence as a drag king version of the Ghost of Christmas Present. Shot over two days in a living room using entirely thrifted and handmade sets, the project serves as a “Dickensian exercise of constraint” and a powerful call for diverse representation within the dark alternative scene. This release acts as a precursor to the band’s debut EP, Exposure, slated for 2026, and a series of upcoming live performances across British Columbia.
