Brooklyn-based Psych Rock quintet Zebedee have shared the single and official video for “Fast Edee” (Director’s cut) out now. The video, which was directed, produced, written and starring the band’s leader Zebedee Row, follows a character who “gets into some trouble on limit-pushing adventures around New York City.”

The group’s sophomore studio album Going Nowhere Fast is due out this Friday, August 2nd, 2024.

This Thursday, Zebedd will screen the music video for the first time for free at NYC’s Von, along with an acoustic performance, and later this month, the band will celebrate the project with an official release party on August 13 at NYC’s Mercury Lounge with Kirk Douglas’ Hundred Watt Heart of The Roots.

With “Fast Edee” the group introduces listeners to “a fictional character of the same name who is on a relentless pursuit of pleasure.”

Describing the character, lead guitarist and vocalist Row says:

He’s a wild hedonist that tends to get himself into more trouble than one would want, but he just can’t help himself. Go hard or go home is the old motto that he lives by. Sometimes, I feel we all need to push our limits and take a page or two out of Edee’s book. As the lyrics describe, ‘Take everything in moderation…even moderation.’

Row says of the video:

The film is an insight into Edee’s world, showing the underbelly of New York and the wild adventures that take place right below our noses. In the story, we find Edee trying to corrects his old ways and start a new life with his daughter. Sadly his past catches up with him, and he needs to fulfill one last job before he gets out.

The process was a super challenging yet rewarding experience, and it was a great opportunity to blend my two professional worlds as an actor and musician.
