New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Buttertones have shared the video for "Jazzhound" the first track and title track of the band's upcoming LP. The video was directed by Laura-Lynn Petrick whose work for Weyes Blood, Tops, and Allah Las speaks for itself. "Jazzhound is a corrupt dream of all things showbiz. On the video Petricks describes, "It's busy, automotive and bizarre. Like a lazy Lynchian-esq nightmare... it puts you in a transe."
The video premiered exclusively with Flaunt. With the release of the video The Buttertones shared an exclusive Q&A with MAGNET Magazine. The interview discusses the band's style, the themes behind the video and what to look for in the upcoming album.
Jazzhound comes seven years after the release of the band's self-titled debut. With the album release the band will begin their upcoming headlining North American spring tour. The tour kicks off April 11th in Burlington, Vermont at the Higher Ground and concludes May 30th in Long Beach, California at Alex's Bar. The band will travel coast to coast including Canada and will feature special guests Iguana Death Cult and Tracy Bryant. More information is below.
