Wives’ New Video Looks Part Terrorist Propaganda and Part Art School Installation

The Canberra band have just dropped their debut album of urgent and hammering punk rock.

Canberra’s Wives are back with more of their urgent and angsty punk, this time in the form of a video for “Altar” from their brand new album Devoted to You.

Led by vocalist Anja Loughhead’s distinct and pressing delivery, the song and video features a masked Jordan Rodger covered in a plastic bag that looks part terrorist propaganda and part art school video installation.

Jordan explains the process was both hectic and hot.

“I made Anja listen outside the door while I shot my webcam footage. I was paranoid I would suffocate myself inside in the plastic bag, especially because I did a whole take without pressing the record button first. It’s sweaty in there.”

'Devoted To You' is available now through No Patience and Mass Media Records.
