New Girls Video - "Lust For Life"

thumbnail icon: New Girls Video - "Lust For Life"

A little over a year ago we gave Girls their NYC debut. Today we get a video in support of an old 7" track that shows up on their debut Album. If you're not familiar, yes it's a different "Lust For Life," but Girls' tune has an uppity and excited hedonism that Iggy would also embrace. The Aaron Brown-directed video includes some of the folks you'll remember from the epic up-all-night "Hellhole Ratrace" clip (which Brown co-directed). Hopefully they stick with this Nan Goldin/Ryan McGinley aesthetic for the rest of the collection: It works excellently with the San Francisco duo's ragged, androgynous, carefree (but not pain-free) vibe. In other words, they have a song called "Solitude," though you get the sense they aren't often alone.

Last year's clip:

Don't forget to read up on Christopher Owens and Chet "JR" White's backstory. They're cover Girls too.

I like. :)

So full blown 60s throwback style is in... better than the 90s revival thing going on elsewhere. If you ask me.

Better than "Hellhole Ratrace" but how could it be worse? Their banal lyrics are the equivalent of that hipster bro you see wearing Ray-Bans and a bandanna as a headband at a show.

This reminds me of what it would look like if the cast from Now&Then grew up (a little) and moved to Cali.
