Watch “Half-Lit,” the New Video from Single Mothers
Fresh off of releasing their debut full-length, Negative Qualities, London, ON, punk rockers Single Mothers have premiered a video for the ripping track, “Half-Lit.”
“When I first heard Single Mothers, I was drawn to the way they contrasted these witty, sardonic lyrics against this blisteringly raw instrumentation,” explains the video’s director, Spencer LaVallee of Droga5. “I wanted the video to embrace this duality, capture the humor and the aggression at the same time. Light and dark. The song’s called ‘Half-Lit,’ so why not light it halfway?”
Watch the video here:
To further push the album, Single Mothers will head off on an extensive North American tour which will include dates with The Hold Steady, The Flatliners, as well as Solids.
Riffyou.com will be speaking with the band tomorrow, so stay tuned for our interview with them!
