Twerps train ants to dance in new ‘Stranger’ video

Melbourne’s Twerps have unveiled a video for ‘Stranger’, the latest tune to be lifted from their new album ‘Range Anxiety’.

Following in the footsteps of their breezy, carefree indie rock, the video follows one heroic clay figure’s adventures as he becomes determined not be a stranger to one hell of a good-looking egg. It’s a playful, incredibly charming clip that’ll certainly leave fat grins splashed across faces.

‘Stranger’ is an excellent starting point for those new to Twerps’ world, which is one of campfire-ready, chant-along choruses and melodies that sport a real spring in their step. If ever there was a record to break winter’s cold snap and beckon the glorious warmth of Spring, then ‘Range Anxiety’ is it - full of brilliant sunbursts that’ll have the windows rolled down in no time at all.

Check out the band’s forthcoming dates below the player. They’re confirmed for a handful of UK dates, including Brighton’s Great Escape Festival.
