Amyl and the Sniffers have released an X-rated video for their new single Jerkin, taken from their upcoming third album Cartoon Darkness.
The video was directed by long-time collaborator John Angus Stewart of PHC Films.
“It’s good to express your anger when someone’s been pissing you off and it’s good to have humour in life, especially as a woman, when you’re meant to just passively say ‘everything’s good’ to keep everyone else comfortable,” Amy comments. “The best part about this song is that a squirter can be anybody’s genitals. I wanted to write a song to big-up “the self” while putting down the “other” because sometimes, even if it’s just for a small window, that’s the best way to laugh something off and empower yourself. World’s pissing me off and breaking my heart more than ever right now, might as well poke it back. It’s pointless but it’s cathartic.”
The full, uncensored version is only available to watch HERE (for viewers 18 and older only).
Cartoon Darkness is due for release on 25th October 2024 via Rough Trade Records, available to pre-order HERE.
