mxdwn PREMIERE: Buttertones Put Us In a Trance with New Video for “Jazzhound”

Buttertones are a garage rock band from Los Angeles. Today they are releasing a video for their new song “Jazzhound,” the title track of their upcoming new album that’s out on April 10. We are excited to be premiering this pleasingly bizarre new video, which was directed by Laura-Lynn Petrick.

“‘Jazzhound’ is a corrupt dream of all things showbiz,” said Petrick. “It’s busy, automotive and bizarre. Like a lazy Lynchian-esq nightmare… it puts you in a trance.”

“A mechanical pulse born out of necessity, said the band. “Flying in the face of obscurity. Accepting the risk and pushing forward, howling the entire way.”
