HEELS is back, and the folk-punk duo of drummer Josh McLane and Guitarist Brennan Whalen is pissed. As usual.
The platonic life partners are no strangers to Music Video Monday. “Last Man,” the new single from and second track on Pop Songs for a Dying Planet. “It’s about fury and being exhausted with pretty much everyone, and a warning about being in your own bubble,” says McLane.
For the video, McLane says “We asked Nathan Parten to make something simple, and he made another work of art for us.”
Parten is a popular Memphis tattoo artist and prolific animator who has created eye-popping videos for HEELS and Louise Page. His visual interpretation of “Last Man” will take your head clean off.
You can see HEELS this Friday at B-Side Memphis playing the “Freeloader” EP release party with Trash Goblin. Parton also did the artwork for Freeloader’s new record, so it’s gonna be a family affair.
