Up till this second, I used to be unfamiliar with Trend Model Firm. From what I can surmise, it’s an organization that operates some kind of style model. Doesn’t matter. Not essential. Right here’s what’s essential: They made a brand new promotional video with I Suppose You Ought to Depart auteur Tim Robinson, and it has sufficient of a music-world connection that we are able to publish it on Stereogum.
This can be a music web site, and Tim Robinson shouldn’t be a musician. However we’re all large followers of Robinson. His film Friendship is coming quickly, and it appears to be like nice! Can’t wait! We are going to take any excuse to publish his stuff on this web site. He’s up onstage with Vampire Weekend? He’s bought a new Turnstile music on I Suppose You Ought to Depart? He’s in an Adidas promo video with Mac DeMarco and RXKNephew? Adequate! On this case, we’re very a lot within the Adidas-promo-video zone. Peanut Butter, the three-minute quick movie for Trend Model Firm, has a rating from prolific psych-rocker Mikal Cronin. It’s principally Cronin taking part in jazz drums.
A few years in the past, Mikal Cronin scored Conor O’Malley’s quick movie The Masks, so he appears absolutely comfy on this brain-broken comedy universe. Steve Smith, the auteur behind 100 gecs’ “Dumbest Woman Alive” video, directed Peanut Butter, and it stars Tim Robinson as an unhelpful firefighter. I don’t know whether or not it’ll assist transfer any $98 Museum Of Trendy Fart sweatshirts, however I don’t give a fuck, it’s not my cash. Watch it beneath.
