Pixies’ bassist Paz Lenchantin has directored the band’s newest music video, “Classic Masher” from the new album Head Carrier.
The clip was shot in Los Angeles earlier this month and features Lenchantin’s father Mario Merdirossian as the pianist as well as three friends – Hannah Vandermolen (driver), Adelaide Crocker (middle seat) and Virginia Rand (red lips). Graffiti was created by Jules Muck “MuckRock.”
