According to brooklyn.com, Julien Baker and Torres go country on “Sugar in the Tank,” which is their debut single as duo and the first off from their upcoming album. And now, the duo have track’s video, which was directed by Caity Arthur. The video was filmed in New York City a the Georgia Room in Freehand Hotel New York.
Each scene features Baker and Torres line dancing with members of LGBTQ country dance party Stud Country‘s extended community. Stud Country co-founder Sean Monaghan, who contributed choreography, says: “We were so excited to cast people from our community including Geo Jedlicka]who has been dancing in NYC for three decades. Having established artists like Julien and Torres, who’ve actually been to our events and collaborate with us during this country revival is incredible.”
Stud Country regular and DJ Jae Cripe adds:“It’s been very healing for me as a trans person who was raised in the South to reconnect with this part of myself in a place that feels safe, supportive, and also happens to be full of very hot and nice queer people.
“We were really honored that the Stud Country folks were willing to have fun with us and prepare this line dance for the song! Everyone involved is so talented and they were patient and sweet with us while we learned the moves. For us it’s particularly special to find someplace and some people to do cowboy shit with here in NYC.” said Baker and Torres.
