Music video

The promotional video for "Empty" was helmed by Samuel Bayer, who also directed the first Garbage videos from their debut album.[4][5] The video shows the band playing in a room with various flashing colored light effects as well as confetti occasionally raining down from the ceiling. There are many instances where the camera is spinning in a circle around Shirley Manson and occasionally the other band members.
