Our video for âCloseâ is out TODAY! Directed by Beck and shot and cut by Danny Dwyer. Thank you thank you thank you to Beck and Danny (aka âthe dream teamâ) for throwing yourselves into this endeavor wholeheartedly and creating something truly special. It was an honor to get to work alongside you and weâre so excited to share your efforts with the world.
When we first started this band, we werenât sure where it would take us but one of the early and unexpected gifts was our friendship with Beck. His encouragement helped to set us on a path and move forward with confidence even while we were still figuring things out. Since our initial meeting weâve been fortunate to have shared a lot of adventures together and the making of this video is just the latest installment of those good times. Thank you again to Beck for lending your vision to this video, it was thrilling to get to see a small piece of your creative process up close.
This video also brought us together with a new friend in Danny Dwyer who fearlessly dove right in to help bring Beckâs vision to life. Thank you for braving the wind, rain, and sleet and for keeping us all smiling while we got the right shots.
Finally shoutout to Ryan Smale for all the work you put into helping produce the video as well as the confetti clean up (hehe) â what a champ!
The track âCloseâ was produced and mixed by Erin Tonkon and is the third single off of our 2nd album âPackage Pt. 2â which is out THIS FRIDAY đą

đšHappy Valentine's Day from our hearts/hairs to yoursđš
âTis the season so today we released our new double single video "Here Hair / Hard Hair" just for *you* -- snuggle up and ruminate on past, present, or future lovers while watching the video: royalmountain.lnk.to/herehair-hardhair
The video was directed by our own Lydia Gammill who (let's be honest) just wanted an excuse to make some giant wigs. We also had the pleasure of working with Eric Durkin as our director of photography and the surprise addition of Kevin Condon as our wig operator. Great work team and shoutout to Naomi Smalls for inspiring the big â¨reveal â¨
The track was produced and mixed by Erin Tonkon with initial production and engineering by Carlos Hernandez as part of our initial 'Audio Drag for Ego Slobs' sessions -- glad it's finally seeing the light of day!
Hope you are all enjoying this Valentine's Day regardless of who you do (or donât) fall asleep next to at night and of course it goes without saying (today and all days) we love you, we love you, we love you, we love you, we love youâŚ
