Canadian alt-rockers Weaves are readying themselves to embark on a new North American tour with Mitski and Fear of Men next month, after a full year playing with the likes of Sunflower Bean, Beach Slang and Dilly Dally. Their new video for ‘Sh*thole,’ one of the band’s most personal songs, was filmed during a rare period of downtime by Trevor Blumas. It depicts frontwoman Jasmyn Burke in a variety of disguises.
Burke said of the video: “We shot this video on a hot summer day with no AC in the Coffin Factory Lofts in Toronto. Sweaty and intimate […] It depicts the build up and break down of myself through the different looks. I wrote the song when I was living in a shitty place and was feeling kind of down, but the mysterious thing is I have no recollection of writing it. I found it on my computer one day and had thought I must have sent it to Morgan but I hadn’t. So we essentially did the demo the day after I re-discovered the track and were playing it live soon after.” Watch below.
