Aussie surf-rockers Debbies have dropped the visual their latest single, Sinner. Filmed on the Shoalhaven River, the visual brings groundhog day vibes, as the duo live out their own personal hell. Built upon layered drums and subtle synths, the track brings the duos signature sonic sound, whilst they grapple with staying true to yourself.
Speaking of the visual, the duo share: “Looking back on it now, the way the Sinner music video came about was really just a series of fortunate events of meeting the right people and bringing the ideas we had to life. It all started before we even recorded the song when we went to the Gerringong Winter Wine Festival to watch friends Teenage Joans, and happened to bump into Tas Wilson from Ruby Fields.
"We got talking and before we knew it, basically planned an entire music video for Sinner which he had never heard. Fast forward a bit from then and COVID spiked up again which made it near impossible for Tas to shoot the clip, so we managed to tee up our mate from down south to film the music vid, all while keeping Tas involved in doing the edit which we were stoked about considering the ideas we created for the clip. The location we chose for the clip was Grady’s River Retreat on the Shoalhaven River which we had grown up around as our local so it felt right for us to go no further. We really wanted to play on the idea of hell being some really bad day on repeat for eternity, except we just had a massive night on the river and woke up, kept drinking and the same stuff happened again haha. We wanted to capture the clip completely on handycam and digital footage so we could have the opportunity to alter between both in the clip, which we believe ended up being one of the more effective highlights of the clip.”
In the two short years since their formation, Debbies have taken to the stage at Falls Festival, Bigsound and Yours and Owls Festival, having also become finalists in Triple j Unearthed High 2019. The duo will be joining Teenage Joans and The Terrys on their respective tours later this year.
