Louise Burns has already released videos for a pair of tunes from last year's Mellow Drama ("What Do You Wanna Do" and "Island Vacation"). Now she's unveiled a clip for the album cut "Drop Names Not Bombs" which centres on a drunken karaoke session.

Burns said in a press release: "We liked the idea of doing a 'fun' video, as in getting our friends drunk and doing karaoke, but also tapping into a darker side, where something feels a bit off, kind of like the little girl in Poltergeist watching static on her TV. In our case, there's a poltergeist in the karaoke video in the form of me (haha). The contrast between brightness and creepiness unintentionally reflects the song as well, which sounds like a happy pop jam but was actually written from a pretty dark place."

Watch the clip for this peppy pop rocker below. Mellow Drama is available now through Light Organ Records.
