Pinact Premieres A Rowdy Video For “Seams”

“Seams” sweats. That is, Pinact‘s latest single off their upcoming full-length The Part That Know One Knows possess a distinctly pubescent quality—one evocative of burps and braces, frayed t-shirts and enamel pins. It’s raw pop-punk, jittery and slurred at once, tripping over itself as it follows Gillies’ sneering tenor,  singing of something “splitting at the seams.”

 

Shot in the Glaswegian threepiece’s studio, the accompanying video depicts a rowdy performance inspired by Nirvana’s legendary Paramount show in which partygoers crowdsurf and mosh, revved by Lewis Reynolds’ rumbling drums and Gillies’ jagged, high-octane guitar.  With its attention to the physical signifiers of pop-punk—from the bandmates’ disheveled mops to Gillies’ low-slung guitar to the VHS grittiness of the footage itself—the clip discharges the sonic retromania of a teenage era into a bratty physicality, capturing a moment of sounds and gestures and bodies still lingering somewhere in the corporeal memory of the skin.

Pinact’s latest LP The Part That Know One Knows is out August 25 on Kanine. Catch Pinact unleash their hormonal energy at Alphaville on July 27.
