Hot off the heels of their European tour and new 7”, Atlanta’s reigning garage rock daughters, The Coathangers, premiere their new video for “Derek’s Song” with SPIN. Directed by Mike Moore and set in a decadent hotel, what appears to be a lavish party scene takes a dark turn into a murder mystery coinciding with the song’s dedication to their good friend Derek Shepherd’s untimely death. After wrapping up a Euro tour with Trail of Dead, The Coathangers hit the road this July for a summer tour up the East Coast with dates including Florida, NYC, and DC.
Watch “Derek’s Song” on YouTube HERE – please post and share.
“Derek’s Song” comes from the third installment in their series of split 7”s on Suicide Squeeze. This time they’ve teamed up with labelmates Nü Sensae. Both new listeners and longtime fans of The Coathangers will be whipped into a frenzy with “Derek’s Song”, a party-banger perfectly encapsulating the trio’s capacity for sharp hooks and jagged instrumentation. The Coathangers’ side will make you wanna get off your ass and dance while the Nü Sensae side will make you wanna go torch a car. The split 7” is limited to 750 copies (250 on white vinyl, 500 on black) with a free download code is also available digitally worldwide.
