The Los Angeles–based chanteuse—whose debut EP will be out soon via Republic Records—recognizes that sometimes, love hurts.

Processed with VSCO with l11 preset
Taking a step back from his decade-spanning work with The Whigs, the songwriter unleashes his first solo album via New West Records.

It’s not quite “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” but the new video sees the UK pop duo transform in an elementary setting.

Along with the clip, the indie mainstays offer up a new set of February US dates.
