On the heels of a sold-out North American headline tour, including two shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn and the Lodge Room in Los Angeles, Lincoln Hall in Chicago, The Chapel in San Francisco, and many more fine North American venues, Alex Cameron is extending his live schedule in support of Forced Witness. Today, he is also presenting the video for “Studmuffin96,” directed by Jemima Kirke, who also stars in the video alongside Cameron.
In line with the standout videos Alex Cameron has previously released, “Studmuffin96” is a dark, comic observation of one girl’s instant obsession with an older man which, by sheer chance, culminates in a seedy night in a motel room many years later. As Kirke describes it, “It’s a coming of age story about the bleakness of a fantasy realized. A young woman is reunited with a man from her past, and an attempt at romance ensues. But regardless of their efforts, their only common ground is a laundromat and a motel room.”
The Alex Cameron six-piece band featuring Roy Molloy on saxophone, Justin Juice Nijssen on bass, Jack Ladder on guitar, Holiday Sidewinder on keys and vocals, and Henri Lindstrom on drums is currently on the road in Europe before heading to Australia for another extensive run of arena shows supporting The Killers throughout April and May. This summer, they’ll play festivals including the Pitchfork Music Festival and Osheaga. For those who have not yet caught Alex Cameron live, their recent performance at Pitchfork’s Juan’s Basement is highly recommended. Also, fans of HBO’s High Maintenance, keep your ears peeled during the season finale for a stunner off Cameron’s debut album, Jumping the Shark.
