Rise Records and Tiger Army are pleased to present the band’s music video for ‘Devil That You Don’t Know,’ taken from their brand new studio album, ‘Retrofuture.’
“‘Devil That You Don’t Know’ exists because I read a bio about The Cramps,” frontman Nick 13 said of the song’s inspiration. “Lux & Ivy lived in Ohio after abruptly leaving CA under the shadow of legal trouble, prior to starting the band in NYC. While in Ohio, Ivy bought an old fuzz pedal in a pawn shop. I did some research, figured out what it would’ve been and tracked one down. When I plugged it into an early-‘60s Fender Amp with the tremolo way up, this song poured out.”
Directed by Travis Shinn, the video for ‘Devil That You Don’t Know’ employs a psychedelic, ‘60s approach, using experimental short films as inspiration. “I’ve long been a fan of Kenneth Anger and I threw out the idea of using his films as references, especially ‘Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome’ and ‘Scorpio Rising’“, Nick continues. “Travis loved the idea and really ran with it, mixing the Anger influence with his own ideas until he’d created something unique and beautiful.” Watch the music video for ‘Devil That You Don’t Know’ below.
