Dum Dum Girls Premiere”Rimbaud Eyes” Video
The Dum Dum Girls have released a new video for “Rimbaud Eyes,” from the band’s new album, Too True, out now worldwide on Sub Pop. The new visual stars the band, was directed by Tamaryn, features cinematography from Bianca Alexis, and animated and edited by Gooby Herms. The guitar four-piece appear as if in Jem and The Holograms, with frontwoman Dee Dee Penny a pastel faerie queen Pat Benetar who knows she has better hair than everyone else at the (peep) show. She struts down a sex shop hyperway, appears in Octopussy-ish 007 sillhouettes before – oh! – climaxing with her band in hyperspace on a heart-shaped platform (see premiere April 24th).”
Dum Dum Girls’ worldwide tour in support of Too True is underway, with the European trek set to run from May 1st in London, UK at Scala and ending June 7th in Porto, PT at Primavera Sound Festival. Additionally, there are a handful of U.S. festival and club dates to mention at this time: July 20th in Chicago, IL at Pitchfork Music Festival; August 2nd in Santa Ana, CA at the Observatory for Burger a-Go-Go; and August 8th-10th in San Francisco, CA at Outside Lands Festival.
Dum Dum Girls’ Too True, featuring the singles “Rimbaud Eyes,” “Are You Okay?,” “Lost Boys And Girls Club,” was produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, The Go-Go’s, Richard Hell), Sune Rose Wagner (The Raveonettes) and engineered by Alonzo Vargas at East West Studios in Los Angeles and The Coven in New York City.
