The Hives are ready for their close up with the release of their new video for “Wait A Minute,” which recently premiered on MTV. MTV’s own Buzzworthy Blog remarked “with squirmy close-ups on Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist’s cartoon eyes and mesmerizing jaw, ‘Wait A Minute’ is anything but zen; it’s a taught, nervy, post-punk track that stays true to the Swedish group’s garage origins.”
Directed by Travis Schneider, the video was filmed in a Chicago hotel room using only some leather, an iron, a floor lamp, frozen yogurt, and the sweltering Chicago sun. “Wait A Minute” is the second single from The Hives lauded new album Lex Hives, which was released earlier this summer on the band’s own Disques Hives.
