From the Single A Different Hunger (2020)

Songwriter Fiona McDonald has fun in this video from her first solo album, playing a frustrated 1950s style housewife who finds a new and lethal use for the Sunday roast. Breathe is a taste of 1970s style funk, showcasing the lighter and dancier side of McDonald's repetoire. Wearing Clark Kent style glasses, Ian Hughes (Topless Women Talk About Their Lives) plays McDonald's unresponsive husband, more concerned with his golf swing than his starved partner. There's nods to Alfred Hitchcock and Roald Dahl in Jonathan King's video, from stuffed birds on the wall to the lamb-assisted murder at the end.
