Toronto lo-fi rock pop quartet Weaves dropped the energy bomb of a hit “One More” back in March, and the equally absorbing track “Candy” earlier last month. Set to release their debut album June 17th, the indie rock world patiently awaits the completing pieces of their jagged puzzle of infectious pop melody, unwashed garage distortion, and uncontainable energy.
To help bring the date closer, Weaves have shared the new music video for their lead single “One More”. Filmed by guitarist Morgan Waters while on their latest tour through the United States, the new video captures their view of the southwestern desert. Water explains:
“This was our first American tour and we didn’t know if we were going to kill each other, being stuck in a van together the whole time. We shot the video ourselves in Rock City, New Mexico in the middle of our drive from Toronto to Los Angeles. We’re Canadians so we had to get to know the desert the old fashioned way: with pom poms and a video camera. I filmed Jasmyn from the back of the van as we both yelled at Spencer to drive the right speed while Zach did playback and offered moral support. We smelled burning and assumed it was the smell of America but the mechanic told us the emergency brake was stuck.”
Enjoy the clip below – complete with cheap pom-poms and a secondhand pink bathrobe. Head to their website to discover more of their music, and check out their extensive list of tour dates below.
