Philadelphia rockers Beach Slang have released the music video for “Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas,” which is taken from the band’s acclaimed debut The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us.

Created by Konstantinos Psimaris and Tom Ammon, the video features clips of the band interspersed with, fittingly, beach and ocean footage. It’s edited in a way that gives it a film-strip look,  which creates a unique blend of high quality shots and home-video-like scenes.

Additionally, vocalist James Alex has announced Even Trash Has A Place, a collection of his writings that can be pre-ordered here.
