Brennan Wedl Releases Two New Songs Including 'Let's Be Models' Video
The indie pop artist drops 'Comfortable' alongside the new visual release.
Brennan Wedl has released two new songs, including a music video for the track LET'S BE MODELS.
The Minnesota-raised, Nashville-based songwriter has shared 'Let's Be Models' and 'Two Dollar Pistol' from her upcoming self-titled debut album for ANTI-, due August 21.
Written and co-directed by Wedl, the video for 'Let's Be Models' finds Wedl traversing a local mall and spending time with friends in goblin-like garb.
''Let's Be Models' + 'Two Dollar Pistol' essentially boil down to the neon orange pixie Stix dust that is friendship in the modern age,' Wedl explains. 'We're busy, we're stressed, we're having gastrointestinal issues. In the same breath, we're sparkly, we're bold and we're navigating the magic in the mundane, the mysticism of the Monday.'
'Two Dollar Pistol' features simple acoustic strums and harmonies by Katie Crutchfield. The album was co-produced by Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) and Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Mavis Staples), with instrumentalists Lindsey Jordan (Snail Mail), Colin Croom, and Matt McCaughan also appearing throughout. The collaborators describe the resulting sound as a middle ground between punk, grunge, and Americana — 'grungetry,' as they call it.
Wedl's songs were recorded live as a band. 'The archetype of Daddy is something I've been searching for all my life, but turns out, the daddy I've been looking for has been me all along,' Wedl says. 'Be your own daddy.'
