The Lemon Twigs have shared the video for “I Wanna Prove to You,” their ode to early rock n’ roll ballads (by way of 10cc) from last year’s Do Hollywood. The video was directed by Nick Roney who took The Twigs’ D’Addario brothers to his grandparents’ home in Utah for a little verité-style contemplation on love. Roney told Stereogum:

The song is about proving your love which is something I can’t really fathom because of how generally self-centered I am. But I figured my grandparents knew something about it because they had been married for 50-years, so their relationship seemed to make an appropriate backdrop for the video. Overall the experience was heartbreaking for me and I never would have imagined that things would have gone south as they did.

Things go south in a very Albert Brooks kind of way and if you like that style of deadpan neurotic humor, this is a fun one. Watch below.

The band are currently on tour with Savoy Motel, and dates wrap up in NYC next week at Bowery Ballroom (2/21) with Cut Worms. Online tickets are no longer available, but some tickets may be available at doors. The Twigs head to Europe after that. Updated dates are listed below.
