Piney Gir releases video for ‘Gold Rules’!
"A retro delight…" - The Guardian
"…open-hearted pop that has you clutching your knees with glee" - Drowned In Sound
Piney Gir is delighted to announce the release of her latest video for album track ‘Gold Rules’, taken from her sixth album mR hYDE’S wILD rIDE released 29th June 2015 via Damaged Goods.
The video premiered on Gigwise and you can watch it now via Damaged Goods' YouTube channel.
You can also stream single Keep It Together via the ABoF SoundCloud page.
Recorded at Andy Ramsay’s (Stereolab) studio, ‘Gold Rules’ is a finely-honed, heavenly tune even as the song celebrates unreachable riches and glibly states the fact, “you can’t take it with you anyway.” Replete with a host of honeyed analog and reverb drenched hooks, and a riff buzzing bass line with grungy guitars leading the way, Piney is able to wear her Riot Grrl influences on her sleeve.
The inspiration for the video, directed, shot and edited by Jeremy 'Foxy' Fowler and Keyleen Nguyen, is taken from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. Piney holds her band hostage in her house, feeding them space cakes and making them her puppets, with sets and props designed by esteemed artist Garo Nahoulakian. However, the musicians don’t seem to mind, as they’re still able to rock out! It’s a fascinating glimpse inside Piney’s head.
