ニューヨーク出身のインディーロックバンド Loose Buttonsが、8/30にMoon Crawl Recordsからリリースしたニューシングル 'Minor Leaguer'のMVを公開！
ディレクターは Austin Withers。
10/22発売のニューアルバム『What’s On Outside』収録曲で、プロデューサーとして Hop Alongの Joe Reinhart (Beach Bunny, Joyce Manor)が参加してます。
イレギュラーな時期だけど、それにしても昨年のデビューアルバムからリリースのペースが早い。そして曲が良い。前回取り上げた曲と同様に温かみのあるメロディが際立ってます。
“I started working on these lyrics around the time sports were starting back up again, and I would find myself thinking about those guys who bounce around the minors for years and never quite crack the big leagues,” “This was also around the time every show was getting cancelled, so everything was a bit dark and there were natural comparisons to be made. But, despite that, there's something that drives those career minor leaguers to keep the dream alive and keep on going. At the end of the day, even the minor leagues are better than whatever else is out there. That's the energy we were trying to channel with this one. For the video, we found an old roller hockey rink like three hours outside the city, the closest one that was willing to have us, and just had a blast skating around in the middle of nowhere until 5AM having the best time; all directed and shot by our great friend Austin Withers.” - Eric Nizgretsky
