New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last month, Shopping released All or Nothing, "their most articulate record to date" (Paste) on FatCat Records. In advance of their lengthy North American tour, which kicks off this week, the band releases a new video for the album's title track. "
All Or Nothing" is propelled by a thrumming bassline, angular guitar, and Rachel Agg's near-spoken chants. Its accompanying video, directed by Lessa Millet, is entirely animated and features collaged photos of the band.
"The song made me think about all the things we have to fight through in our life, all the internal and external obstacles we encounter," explains Millet. "I spent a couple weeks just developing the visual language for the video, building all the scenarios, and finding the right balance of photo real images and abstract color shapes. I think it's one my favorite videos I've worked on in a while, I had a lot of fun staying late at the studio and creating this imaginary world."
Shopping - comprised of guitarist Rachel Aggs (Trash Kit, Sacred Paws), drummer Andrew Milk (Current Affairs), and bassist Billy Easter (Wet Dog) - will kick off their first North American tour in support of All Or Nothing this
Thursday in Portland, OR at Mississippi Studios. The tour takes them down the west coast and to Austin for a slew of performances at SXSW before heading east and then back through to the midwest. A full list of dates is below, with all dates on-sale now.
