LA band Girl Friday head up to their debut full-length 'Androgynous Mary', out August 21 via Hardly Art, with the music video for the lead single 'Amber's Knees: A Matter of Concern'.
The self-directed video pays homage to the band's reality TV guilty pleasure go-to Rock of Love starring Bret Michaels, and was embellished with primitive throwback CGI during a feverish editing spree under quarantine.
"'Amber’s Knees' came together lyrically from bits and pieces that we’d all written over a long period of time," say the quartet of the propulsive track. "It’s the first song we wrote for the album. It has to do with the borders of culturally sanctioned dissociation and the wilful ignorance we often employ to keep things functioning, which manifests differently for everyone. We wanted the video to be an extreme example of this, so naturally we turned to reality TV for inspiration. However, that initial idea festered into a visual fever dream fueled by our increasingly dystopian waking reality. As life seems to spiral ever further out of our control, we keep ourselves grounded dancing above a greenscreen sea."
