London-based duo Jockstrap (Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye) released their debut album, I Love You Jennifer B, in September via Rough Trade. Now they have shared an amusing video for the album’s “Greatest Hits,” which centers on a court battle between two fictional aging music icons and features Ellery as a judge’s clerk. Aiden Zamiri directed the video.
Zamiri had this to say in a press release: “I think Jockstrap are one of the most exciting bands in the world and I’m stoked we were able to make this video together. We wanted this to have a bit of a reflection on the time we live in now, whilst still having a sense of humor about it. Georgia and Taylor are geniuses, and I was so grateful to explore this mad story with them. We did our best to make it as legally accurate as possible (with a few artistic liberties) and this was possible thanks to Jean Lee, our barrister consultant who also played the judge.”
In a previous press release, the band collectively had this to say about the album: “I Love You Jennifer B is a collection of Jockstrap tracks that have been three years in the making. Everything on it is pretty singular sounding so we hope there is a track on there for everyone and something that speaks to you and says ‘I’m a banger.’” From: https://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/jockstrap_share_amusing_and_judicial_video_for_greatest_hits/
