Trapper Schoepp’s Video For “What You Do To Her” Calls For Cultural Change

On Thursday, Trapper Schoepp released the video for “What You Do To Her,” the latest track from his upcoming album Primetime Illusion.

The animated video addresses the pressing topic of sexual assault in modern society. With vocals from Nicole Atkins, “What You Do To Her” serves as a plea for cultural awareness through Schoepp’s story-telling lyrics and unique visuals from Milwaukee-based animator Casey Hoaglund.

“Too many women feel like they can’t report sexual violence because our society has, historically, failed them,” Hoaglund says in a press release. “The video is meant to empower survivors. It is to let them know they’re not alone and the community knows that what has happened to them is wrong.”

Primetime Illusion will be released January 25 via Xtra Mile Recordings. It was produced by Patrick Sansone (Wilco, Robyn Hitchcock) in Milwaukee.
