Mystic, CT’s Slander debuts video for first two singles

Slander‘s dual signal release was met with a bit of a buzz, getting coverage on a few blogs including Stereogum. Following that burst of success they’ve released the video for the two singles – a longform black and white video. The video, directed by Ellery Twining, does a good job of bringing the singles to life. Before seeing the video, I was already feeling the retro Fleetwood Mac vibes from the twangy guitars and take-no-prisoners drums. Magnets definitely shines in the forefront, with an especially energetic intro and catchy hooks up the wazoo; from "You wanna be alone" to "I can make you want it" yelped and wailed by frontwoman Julia Farrar. Ghosts takes it down a notch with a slower pace and a less puncuated and more drawn out feeling than Magnets, but the two singles play off each other well. – Hillary Anderson
