DS Exclusive: Trailer Swift debut video for “Cross My Heart” from upcoming album, “Variant”
Happy Friday, comrades!
Dying Scene is stoked to get to bring you yet another kick-ass video debut today. It’s from Boston-based progressive post-punks Trailer Swift, and it’s for a track called “Cross My Heart,” which is slated to appear on their upcoming album Variant. The video was filmed at the Midway Cafe, one of the last great dive bar venues in their rapidly-gentrifying hometown and a place that’ll always occupy a special place in yours truly’s cold, dead heart.
Here’s what the band has to say about the clip:
“Cross My Heart” was shot at our favorite local club/watering hole in Boston. The idea behind the video was simple, make the viewer think we are the band, but then sit at the bar and ignore what’s going on, complain about life, and underappreciate the younger band getting label attention. Basically, to poke a little fun at ourselves and the way the music we grew up on (and love to write) is finding a new audience, but maybe, it’s not finding us.”
“A little meta, a little humor, and a lot of sarcasm. At one point in the video, you can clearly see that we might be changing our minds, but that moment quickly passes as we make fun of our own logo and cringe.”
