Video: GALPALS – “For Our Sake”

The first video from Austin duo G A L P A L S is as bright and energetic as the band’s relentless pop. Directed by Cassandra Lee Hamilton, the video utilizes vivid color as Lauren Mikus and Jillian Talley lay in deep green foliage, play on playgrounds, and have a water balloon fight. Fitting with the band’s cute but brash pop, Mikus and Talley engage in activities throughout the video that juxtapose sweet and dark—crushing up PopRocks to snort with candy straws, selling spiked lemonade, and smoking while exercising. Aurally, “For Our Sake” delivers the same straightforward, hook-filled sounds that G A L P A L S has exhibited since their initial demos. This is band to keep your eye on. Their next show will be opening for the legendary Shonen Knife and we will definitely be in attendance.
