Mannequin Pussy Share "Cream" Video
Today Indie punk band Mannequin Pussy share a new video for the song “Cream,” a track off the band’s full-length Patience out June 21 on Epitaph. Marisa Dabice (guitars and vocals) explains, “for the music video we wanted to create a creepy, monochromatic and colorful world. The director, Hanna Hamilton tapped into the lyrics of the song and created a story around them. Being followed by and possessed by an entity that controls the people around it. It feels like a classic 70s horror movie that I wish existed in real life.”

According to director Hanna Hamilton, “‘Cream’ was inspired by the idea of working with Marisa and her sister. I wanted them to play each others’ doppelgänger in traditional horror tropes. This idea guided the design of the sets: 3 movable rooms each made to support a specific practical effect. I love the juxtaposition of horror with bright colors so we wanted the video to have a vibrant 70s look. In addition to the stylized wardrobe and set dressing we also used a vintage Cooke zoom super 16 lens and formatted the video to 4:3 to enhance this feel. Aside from that, the demons pretty much did the rest!”
The upcoming third full-length from Mannequin Pussy, Patience is an album fascinated with the physical experience of the body, its songs tracking the movements of mouths and hands and racing hearts, skin and spit and teeth and blood. Patience came to life at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. In creating the album, Mannequin Pussy worked with producer/engineer Will Yip (Quicksand, The Menzingers), shaping an explosive sound that never overshadows the subtlety of their songwriting.
Founded in 2013, Mannequin Pussy is Marisa Dabice (vocals/guitar), Thanasi Paul (guitar), Bear Regisford (bass), and Kaleen Reading (drums). Mannequin Pussy has released two full-length albums, 2014’s GP and 2016’s Romantic on Tiny Engines.
