Toronto garage psych/post-punk band
FRIGS have shared the video for "
Talking Pictures".
The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their debut album '
Basic Behaviour', which came out in February through Arts and Crafts. Buy your copy

The video was directed by Christopher Mills, who said: "The camera seems to be broken in a glitchy, 360 degree virtual space filled with multiple exposures of FRIGS, occasionally, and inadvertently disrupted by glitchy abstract shapes, in this dark, and moody portraiture. For me this song is like what Mazzy Star would play before a street fight. The toughness of this music evokes images of Ponyboy Curtis, with all his friends running around the perimeter of town, looking for trouble. FRIGS were a big part of the editing process on this collaboration and I was honoured by the invitation to work with this music."
From the band: "Talking Pictures relies, not on narrative, but on evoking a sense of disillusionment. We wanted a video that similarly eschewed narrative in order to portray this feeling through distorted perspective, overlapping subjects and a black-and-white pallet."
