Tancred has released the brand new music video for “Something Else”. Described as “Gay Riverdale inspired” by Jess Abbott, the force behind Tancred and ex Now, Now band member, the video stars the band Potty Mouth and “America’s Lesbian Sweetheart” Brittany Ashley.
Director Jason Lester elaborates, “Jess and I wanted to pay tribute to the stylized, teen dream melodramas we love, from Riverdale to Twin Peaks. The giddy feeling of attraction represented by TV’s archetypes of youth, cotton candy colors, and often repressed sexuality felt perfectly in sync with Tancred’s swooning track.” Abbott further adds, “Brittany and I had wanted to work on a video together for a while, and Potty Mouth basically is Josie and the Pussycats, so it all came together just right.”
Tancred’s critically praised new album, Nightstand is out now on Polyvinyl Record Co. This fall Abbott will tour the US And UK with The Joy Formidable and Kississippi respectively. All tour dates including newly announced US headline dates can be found below.
