“In the Sun She Lies” is one of two new songs produced by husband Jack Antonoff and co-written by director Ethan Coen for the new movie Honey Don’t!
Margaret Qualley is used to embodying larger than life characters on screen. Now, she has a musical alter ego in the form of Lace Manhattan. With help from her Grammy-winning producer husband Jack Antonoff as well as Oscar-winning director Ethan Coen, Lace Manhattan will have two new songs featured in the upcoming film Honey Don’t!
Qualley, who stars as private investigator Honey O’Donahue in Honey Don’t!, created this pop persona while on set. Her co-star Talia Ryder has her own musical alter ego, Dixie Normous, who directed the new Lace Manhattan videos. Antonoff produced the songs, while Honey Don’t! director Coen co-wrote the tracks, “In the Sun She Lies” and “ODDWADD.” Check out the video for the former below.
“In the Sun She Lies” is a moody and hypnotic cut, with Qualley channelling Lana Del Rey. The video features her walking around New York City in angel wings, separated from Ryder, who is also in angel wings. Qualley is moody and tearful as she searches for Ryder — until the pair are finally reunited.
Honey Don’t premiered at Cannes this May and will hit theaters on August 22nd. Coen co-wrote the screenplay with his wife Tricia Cooke as part of the couple’s “lesbian B-movie trilogy.” It’s the second installment of this trilogy, following last year’s Drive-Away Dolls, also starring Qualley. Alongside Qualley and Ryder, the film also stars Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza and Charlie Day.
