Massachusetts’ Speedy Ortiz has shared the new video for “American Horror,” which appears on the recently released Real Hair EP.
Directed by Peter Binswanger, the video channels B-movie horror with animated tentacles and devilish eyes. We travel into each musician’s subconsciousness during the pop-fueled song, seeing what’s haunting their thoughts. It’s spooky, gooey and, at some points, pretty funny.
