WEED for the Parrots, the EP that Madrid indie band The Parrots released last May, was stocked with boomeranging, reverberating guitars and a chaotic rhythmic section to give us one of the best rock exports out of Spain.
The garage punk outfit have just released the video to their new song ‘Wild’, which was recorded on VHS iPhone app out and about Brighton while on a tour of the UK. While it is one of the most nonchalant indie music videos, showcasing the equable strolling around the city – eating, smoking marijuana, jokingly scaring pigeons, etc.
The video complements the song wonderfully. They go hand-in-hand – the song is just as lo-fi as the video, drawing comparisons to the majority of Velvet Underground’s punky anthems, such as ‘White Light/White Heat’ and The Strokes.
The song is short and sweet, only clocking in at just over 100 seconds. It isn’t lyrically profound, as it largely mentions “it’s wild”, yet the words are obscured by the intentional old recording booth sound anyway – as if it is was recording in Jack White’s preserved Voice-o-Graph. Saying that, maybe White should invite the trio along for an exclusive recording of ‘Wild’. Check it out below:
