Directed by Alex Markman, Glasgow trio PAWS share their new video for ‘Joanna’.
The clip for the track - taken from their upcoming ‘Your Church on My Bonfire’ album, which is released on April 29 - is based around a New York fetish idea.
“Phil [Taylor, guitar] initially approached me about wanting to do a video where New York City was as much a character as the band," says Markman. "Say what you will about New York, there's a reason why its past is fetishized, when it was bankrupted and sex was for sale on every street corner.
“So we decided to fetishize it literally with several nods to that era; Warhol films like Blow Job (and Empire), famous hustlers like Joe Dallesandro, the Ramones 53rd & 3rd, Taxi Driver – I could keep going. We shot during the rain storm a few weeks back. I can't say it was fun but it definitely helped sell the look.”
