Words: Sam Geary
Ahead of third album, 'Guy Walks Into A Bar...', out July 26 via Fiction Records, LA trio Mini Mansions have dropped a new video for one of its tracks, ‘Hey Lover’, which features The Kills’ Alison Mosshart.
“I love doing collaborations with bands I love," says Mosshart, "getting to dive in and explore another artist’s work. When Mikey [frontman Michael Shuman] sent me ‘Hey Lover’ and asked if I wanted to sing on it, I was stoked. From first listen I wanted to hear it again and again.
“What I love about this song is that I’ve had this realistic lyrical conversation many times. We’ve all had this conversation many times. But it’s never sounded so beautiful. Usually it’s more of a gutter punk song. A lot of screaming and breaking things. Mini Mansions make foul play sound elegant."
