The visual component of Sneaks’ new album It’s a Myth continues today with the music video for “Hair Slick Back.” It's premiering today on The Le Sigh, where they rightfully claim "There are few people in their young twenties who can pull off cool like Eva Moolchan... she deploys futuristic beats and childlike wordplay on her songs that elevate her to another dimension."
 

Sneaks’ Eva Moolchan and director Aabid Youssef collaborated quickly on this video, conceiving the concept and shooting in full just hours after a show in Toronto. Youssef continues:

“Hair Slick Back” is a great example of Sneaks’ minimal swagger and my favorite song from It’s a Myth. My goal with the video was to really break down why I find her music unique and cool. The video, like the song, is stripped down to its bare elements, where Eva's enigmatic visage and bass interact in an isolated black and white triptych. Each frame was shot in one take and the whole video was completed in one session.

Revisit music videos for “With a Cherry on Top” and “Future” then head to the Merge store where you can grab It’s a Myth on CD or LP, or listen to the record in full on your preferred digital service.

Sneaks is looking forward to 2018.
