Recent Band To Watch honorees Girl Band have signed to Rough Trade and shared a video for “Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?” It’s an eight-minute cover of UK producer Blawan, and it serves as the centerpiece for Girl Band’s new EP, The Early Years. The video is an exercise in mounting tension: It follows a mortician prepping a body for a showing in excruciating, gory detail. About halfway through, everything breaks as the song begins the build. The mortician dances over the body as though he’s possessed, which makes the subject’s heart start beating and toes start tapping. Before you know it, they’re both dancing around in a violent freakout. It’s a fantastic video, directed with a chilling clarity by Bob Gallagher. Watch below.

01 “Lawman”
02 “De Bom Bom”
03 “I Love You” (Beat Happening Cover)
