PREMIERE: Lithuana – “Hardcore Friends” (Featuring Frances Quinlan of Hop Along)

Watch the video from the friendship project of Dr. Dog and DRGN KING.

As you might guess from the title, Lithuania’s forthcoming album Hardcore Friends is about friendship. The album is a chronological narrative of the bond between the band’s two members, Eric Slick (of Dr. Dog) and Dominic Angelella (of DRGN KING). On the title song, they’ve enlisted the help of some other friends, namely Rachel Browne of Field Mouse, and Frances Quinlan of Hop Along, who put out one of the best albums of the year last month. Both sneak in very inconspicuously towards the end. Not overbearing, just some subtle undertones.

To showcase the song, Lithuania has put together this thoroughly bizarre video which is about the friendship of… uh, a stepladder and a houseplant? Hey, look, no judgment here. We are love-positive people and what a ladder and some greenery want to do in their free time is their business.

Hardcore Friends is out on August 14 from Lame-O Records.
