What happens when the monsters under your bed escape? They take to the city, of course. Featuring the most fearsomely adorable paper monsters drawn by Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females, in a stop motion escapade throughout an urban expanse. Paternoster’s guttural vocals are harshly juxtaposed against these creatures. “Empty Head” comes off of Rose Mountain, released back in February via Don Giovanni. In support of the record, Screaming Females are also headed out on a summer tour. Check out dates and the video for “Empty Head” below.
