FADER PREMIERE
Looking like a 1920s street urchin in short pants with slicked back hair and a bare chest, Montreal singer-songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage lets loose in the video for his jaunty, piano-led pop song "The Rat". Directed by Angus Borsos, who's also made videos for Julia Holter and Nite Jewel, this black and white short clip finds Savage in an even more theatrical mood than usual, grabbing at his neck and climbing the walls as he emotes about a former flame he's haunted by. It's taken from his new album Bermuda Waterfall, which came out this week on Arbutus Records.
