Watch Kristin Kontrol Perform “Smoke Rings” With String Ensemble
Kristin Kontrol — the pop-leaning project of Kristin Welchez, aka Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls — released her debut album earlier this year, and today she’s sharing an orchestral version of “Smoke Rings,” the closing track from it. The submerged ’80s-indebted synths get translated into an ornate string arrangement, whose vibe is matched with by a smokey room and a ton of flowers in a video directed by Jim Larson. Watch and listen below.
