Exclusive Premiere: Boyfrndz’ Creepy-Ass New Video for “Make Believe”

Here’s how our own Anso DF described Boyfrndz last year, on release day of their second full-length Breeder (via Brutal Panda):

… ceiling-scraping psych metal from the fourth dimension… Late-era Mars Volta by fans of Torche and Jesu, and for lovers of riveting, occasionally bluesy songcraft — not something you’d text your teen cousins about.

We’ve been hooked on Breeder ever since, for all its twisted, soulful, chilling melody. So we were all too happy to agree to premiere the band’s new video for “Make Believe,” one of the creepiest, crawliest, shiver-inducing videos we’ve seen of late, featuring stop-motion animation by Joshua Mahesh Kost. You will never think of babies in the same way ever again after watching this clip; all innocence gone!

Breeder is out now; buy physical copies here, or download it from Bandcamp. Catch ’em on tour soon; dates below the video.
