[watch] San Cisco//Girls Do Cry

 

San Cisco are proud to present second single “Girls Do Cry” from their debut EP, Golden Revolver. Shot in New York by an independent fashion design collective, the track’s vintage-inspired clip was a lucky discovery.

San Cisco drummer, Scarlett Stevens, uncovered the piece of footage by chance, posted on an underground fashion blog ‘Cat Party”. After introduction, Hannah Metz—clip co-director and slumber party beauty—thought the passage a perfect fit for Girls Do Cry. The women seen in the video are all independent fashion designers themselves. There’s an  undeniable synergy between the splendour, strength and individuality of the small NY fashion collective, and the liberated youthful abandon of this foursome of teens from Fremantle, WA, that colours the ‘Girls Do Cry’ collaboration.
