Close Talker

"Okay Hollywood" (video)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Mar 30, 2017

Saskatoon indie rock unit Close Talker are about to release their latest record Lens, but ahead of its arrival next month, the band have unveiled a brand new video.
 
Album cut "Okay Hollywood" has been given the visual treatment thanks to director and editor Nathan Boey, and the resulting clip is certainly an explosive one. It finds the band in a car amidst the rubble of a junkyard — though the trio conveniently abandon the vehicle just before surrounding debris begins to blow up.
 
The bandmates remain rather nonchalant throughout the whole ordeal, moving seamlessly away from the destruction without the camera breaking its continuous single shot.

"We did our very best to try and look unimpressed with the potentially fatal effects surrounding us in the video," the band said in a statement. "When in reality, we were all terrified of being hit in the face with a fireball."
 
Lens is officially out on April 21 through Nevado Music, marking the follow-up to Flux. Right now, though, scroll past the band's upcoming tour dates to check out the brand new video for "Okay Hollywood" below.
