Speedy Ortiz – “Swell Content” Video
Buck’s Rock is a liberal choose-your-own-adventure camp for kids in Connecticut, and it’s where Speedy Ortiz frontwoman Sadie Dupuis spent her summers when she was a kid. (It’s also where she met Palehound leader Ellen Kempner, and the two recently interviewed each other for Rookie about the camp experience.) When it came time to make a video for “Swell Content,” a jittery guitar-blast from the recent Speedy Ortiz album Foil Deer, Dupuis and her band went back to the camp. Directors Boast Choan and Michael Falcone filmed them playing for and interacting with the kids there and assessing their own fine-arts skills. It’s an overwhelmingly happy video, and you can watch it below.
Foil Deer is out now on Carpark.
