One of my favorite tracks of 2012 — complete tally coming soon — Tegan And Sara’s “Closer” now has a music video.
Director Isaac Rentz does a good job of capturing the song’s coming-of-age theme, setting the clip at a house party in which attendees pair off, mess around with makeup, and make out. Tegan and Sara steer clear of all of that, sticking together to provide the karaoke soundtrack for their guests.
Hosts rarely have fun at their own party. I bet the twins had zero help with the cleanup too.
“Closer” is the first single from Tegan and Sara’s seventh studio album, Heartthrob, produced by Greg Kurstin and Mike Elizondo.
