Vancouver-based alt-rock group Little Destroyer have released a video for new single "hitman," out now via Tiny Kingdom.
"We've all felt sadness turn into rage, maybe while sitting on the curb outside the local liquor store," said bandleader Allie Sheldan about the song in a press release.
"For weeks, I had that recurring question in my head 'does everybody want to hire [a hitman]?'" Sheldan continued. "We had talked about making something that was simple, driving and to the point, like a Sleaford Mods song. Kind of funny and satirical but also really kind of not, because shit, sometimes life tries to kill you."
The Howard Redekopp-produced track comes attached to a video directed by Connor McGuire.
Speaking of the visual accompaniment, Sherdian continued:
It was a no-brainer to do this video with Connor McGuire, not only because he is amazing and did our previous three videos, but we grew up together and were (very predictably) obsessed with Quentin Tarantino as teens — which felt a fitting starting point for "hitman." Connor created a video that is balanced perfectly between mundane reality and something far more cinematic. Definitely something you'll want to watch over and over. It still makes me smile.
