New Lissy Trullie Video - "Boy Boy" (Stereogum Premiere)
We gave you the rundown on Lissy Trullie -- live charisma, one of Paper's most beautiful people, updated Edie Sedgwick hairdo, etc. -- when we posted her best song, "Boy Boy." You can see most of the previous attributes for yourself in the Cass Bird-directed wake-up-and-slightly-tussled-and-rock video for the track. Keep your eyes peeled for Lissy product plugs, evidence of coffee addiction, an "I Hate The Whole Thing" t-shirt, Chloë Sevigny (Lissy modeled her Opening Ceremony clothing line), and various other Downtown denizens. McCombs works as a photographer and this feels like one of her (or Ryan McGinley's) stills come to life.
For the weekend:
Lissy Trullie - "Boy Boy" (MP3)
The Self-Taught Learner EP is out via American Myth in the U.S and out 5/25 in the UK via Wichita.

am i too old to get it or something? this is just so boring to me. it's boring sung by a cute girl. i don't understand why magazines are falling all over themselves to claim this girl as the next big thing when she's so boring. im so bored, my internal thesaurus is broken so i can't find another word to describe her boring shtick. wait... i've been abroad for two months, in my absence did brooklyn decide to bore the shit out of the rest of the world?
Score = -2
She is boring... ahuuum
Score = -1
I agree. Kinda boring. Ida maria blows this girl away.
Score = 2
yeah ive seen her live. not a good singer, guitar player, songwriter, no stage presence, but shes good looking and therefore has that "new york cool" that people love so much
Score = 1
It's not bad....it's just not good. I'm afraid it is boring.
Score = 0
i don't think she's boring at all. i think you guys got a little out of hand. this song isn't one of the most exciting songs she has but its definitely NOT boring. try listening to some of her other songs before judging so hard. listen to "money" and "self-taught learner."
Score = -2
i actually really really like her and think that she has an interesting voice, in a new way.
Score = 0
I'm a fan of lissys already and think this video is a perfect first video for a new band.
Not to high concept, catchy song, shot really well and presents her doing what she does...which happens to be pretty mundane stuff...but none the less she looks cool doing it
Score = 0
I saw her live in Madison a few months ago. She was wholly uninterested in being there and it seemed like she couldn't care less that we all braved the bitter cold on a Tuesday night to see her play. Not sure I'll care to bother with her again.
Score = 1
I've seen her in NY a few times and think shes awesome! video is cool but the EP is real solid. I think she has a lot of potential.
Score = 0
Great video. LOL at the "McCombs" mix-up.
Score = 0
She's definitely got potential. Can we at least wait for a full-length before we write her off completely?
..anyone know if this was shot downstairs at Lit?
Score = 0
