Watch :: Pip Blom - Daddy Issues

Words: Ellie Ward

Before Amsterdam guitar-rockers Pip Blom make their US debut at SXSW in Texas, they share the video for new single, 'Daddy Issues'.

Directed by Edward Zorab, the video, says frontwoman Pip Blom, "is a love letter to classic cinema, but also a cautionary tale. Our culture makes it too easy to fall in love with things which aren't real, and if you're not careful you can end up in a sort of groundhog day cycle of self-induced disappointment. I think the surreal narrative of the video encapsulates that in quite a self aware way."

The track is lifted from the band's forthcoming debut album 'Boat', which is out May 31 via Heavenly / PIAS, and follows last year's 'Paycheck' EP.
