Twerps‘ great new album Range Anxiety came out a couple weeks ago and the band have just released the video for “Stranger.” Directed by Angus Lord, the video features cute, rudimentary stop-motion animation in a kitchen setting, that may have folks of a certain age thinking of the old Sesame Street segment “Teeny Little Super Guy.” You can watch it below.

Twerps will soon be on tour in North America with Ultimate Painting, playing NYC on March 13 at Rough Trade and March 14 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets are still available. They’ve just added more tour dates to their 2015 planner, and all are listed below….
