Shoegaze band NOTHING, have dropped a new video for “You Wind Me Up”. The song is off their John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Breeders, Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile) produced album, Dance On The Blacktop. The video, directed by notorious visual and meme artist Teenage Stepdad. The band start their European tour on November 3rd in Aalst, BE.

Teenage Stepdad on the video for “You Wind Me Up”:

Just before the band went into the studio to record, frontman Domenic Palermo hit me up with the single which he explains “struck me immediately with the visuals that would ultimately become the video I made. But at first I just played it over and over. In the car, in my bedroom studio, dancing with my wife and kids. Honestly, I think I was hoping another idea would come to me, because I had no idea how I was going to pull off what I saw in my head that first listen.

The van in the video became a metaphor for my bedroom studio as I chased my muse and watched the world outside my window drift further away. Artistic endeavor, while often thrilling, can also be incredibly isolating, and I think the video ended up reflecting a lot of that push and pull. Hopefully people can relate in their own way.

Eventually I met up with the band in a tiny, van-sized green room in Phoenix to record them and insert them into the piece. They were in the midst of their tour, road-weary and tired, home a memory in their rear-view mirror, but still ready to make some art. It felt very fitting. I’m grateful to have lived so closely with this song over the course of a couple months, and to have some small association with such a beautiful record.”
