[Video] Lushes - Traffic

Brooklyn's math rockers Lushes (James Ardery - vocals/guitar/synth,
Joel Myers - drums/SPD-SX) get all worked up in the 'Traffic' video, directed by Andrew Schneider, for the track from the duo's 'What Am Doing' album.

Says Schneider: "The song 'Traffic' playfully deals with modern anxiety in all its forms, all the little things that can make us blow up and all the tricks we have to calm us down afterward. Instead of making a more abstract video, we decided to take it back to the source of the song, by shooting Lushes driving around in New York City. The focus is kept keenly on the emotions etched in their faces - boredom, anger, fatigue, hilarity, cabin fever, calm, road rage, and finally disbelief that this is the world we’ve built for ourselves.'

'What Am I Doing' is out now via Felte.

Lushes head to Europe at the end of the month. It will be interesting to see how they fare with London traffic...
