The Dandy Warhols have released their video for the single “Alcohol and Cocainemarijuananicotine” from their latest album Rockmaker, which was released earlier this year via Sunset Blvd.
Alternately titled “Musta Always Been A Thing,” the new “mini-film” was directed by NYC-based writer/ director/producer Elizabeth S. Acevedo, whose short film Mirage was nominated for Cinematography at HollyShorts, and features a “narrative of sex and futuristic drugs.”
Vocalist/guitarist Courtney Taylor-Taylor says:
I’m consistently blown away by Elizabeth Acevedo. Great, heavy-handed style… It’s gritty human surrealism. I am so stoked that we got her to make the film for this single.
The video utilizes “accelerated camera work, and a semi-dystopian setting within a church/bar hybrid” to convey “a hazy, hypnagogic atmosphere.”
Currently celebrating 30 years as a band, the band has previously announced a string of live shows in December in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Tacoma, a fan party in their home studio in Portland, and are co-hosting an engagement in which they will co-host as master of ceremonies for the Little Clouds Records showcase.
