Philadelphia’s Beach Slang recently announced the release of their new album, A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings, coming out this September 23 on Cooking Vinyl Australia. They shared their first single for Punks In A Disco Bar.
James Alex describes a conversation with the video’s director: “Jason Lester, the filmmaker, said it to me like this: “…a gritty, cinematic collage of Americana, debauchery and youth.” And I thought, “Yeah, let’s make the thing.” My only direction notes were: the 1970s, Super 8mm, outsider kids, weirdo art and California. I mean, to me, Beach Slang is a great, big, beautiful mess of trying-to-figure-it-all-out. It is soft and tough. It is cigarettes and flowers. I don’t know. I suppose it looks a whole lot like this.”
