Drugdealer, formerly of Run DMT and Salvia Plath, has shared a video for The End Of Comedy.
The track, which features Weyes Blood shares its title with LA artist Michael Collins' debut album under the Drugdealer moniker, which came out in early September through Weird World.
In addition to Mering, the record also boasts collaborations with Ariel Pink and Danny James, as well as musical contributions from members of Regal Degal, Holy Shit!, Mild High Club, Mr. Twin Sister and Mac DeMarco’s band.
Discussing the Andrew Storrs-directed clip, Collins said:
“Andrew Storrs, an old friend of mine and Natalie Mering's, came to visit us in Los Angeles and document a few days a little while ago. I've always loved his filmmaking - capturing moments in our friend’s lives in a really magical Cinéma vérité form. Basically, it's a snapshot of a particular moment while living downtown here in LA; playing piano, seeing friends and skating around. The song here is one of my favorite collaborations of all time – Nat and I recorded the whole thing very naturally when she was still living in Far Rockaway, NY about a year ago. It was simple and fun to make and no one better to represent this on video than Andrew Storrs. His YouTube channel ‘nationwideonyrside’ collects incredible films with some of my favorite people in the country.”
