Cass McCombs, Angel Olsen Throw ‘Opposite House’ Tea Party
Cass McCombs and Angel Olsen have been rather busy as of late. Late last month, the California singer-songwriter dropped Mangy Love, his ANTI- debut; a week later, the Asheville balladeer released her stellar, devastating My Woman LP. Both musicians are set to tour behind their respective albums in the coming weeks. But first, tea.
Directed by Jonny Look, McCombs' new visual for "Opposite House," his Mangy Love collaboration with Olsen, sees the two musicians having a tea party — cookies and all! — in a sterile, starkly lit room. Inevitably, there's a storm brewing in those pretty white teacups. Co-stars Malinda Gregory and Derrik Castle take part in some water sports, blowing on their beverages from opposite sides of a table to create a messy makeshift fountain; moments later, a sopping-wet McCombs peers into the camera like a puppy left out in the purple oolong rain. (Fortunately, Olsen manages to stay dry.)
Check out the wacky video below, along with McCombs' full itinerary. Find Olsen's upcoming dates here.
Mangy Love is out now on ANTI-. My Woman is out now on Jagjaguwar.
