Sleater-Kinney Share New Music Video for “LOVE”
Corin Tucker (guitar/vocals) comments, “We’re so excited about this video directed by Lance Bangs. It’s a sweet trolley ride down memory lane, and a testament to a friendship and collaboration that has survived the test of time.” “LOVE,” was described as a “breathless celebration of the band’s history,” by Pitchfork, while The New York Times called it “an affectionate catalog of the humilities of indie-rock life.”
This visually stunning and captivating music video is directed by Josiahx (Ice Nine Kills, Sirens and Sailors, Like Moths To Flames) and shows the aftermath of part one’s story of two intimate individuals, both struggling with similar situations; coping with depression, anxiety and past trauma that has manifested itself into a psychosis. As one character uses art as an outlet to express and endure her pain, the other takes a more destructive path and turns to drugs and alcohol as a coping method. This video is Destroy//Create’s way of using their art as an opportunity to shed light on the issues of addiction and mental health, which are clearly prevalent in today’s society.
