See Bully’s Elegant, Animated New Video for ‘Focused’ | Droolin Dog dot Net

Bully released a graceful animated clip for their new single, “Focused,” on Wednesday. The song is from their galvanic second album, Losing. The video is the work of Rozalina Burkova, who presents spare, delicate animations in front of a dark backdrop: A pair of blue pants running across the screen, a bassist leaning casually against an imaginary wall, a dripping faucet. In a statement, Burkova said the video was “loosely based on the theme of coming of age and the ups and downs friendships and relationships.” “Focused” simmers for nearly three minutes, pushed along by bass and tangles of guitar. Lead singer Alicia Bognanno becomes increasingly animated as the song progresses, eventually letting out a throaty, defiant roar: “I’m trying stay focused!” As Bully ramp up the tension in their music, Burkova’s animations stay stylish and unflappable. Bully will be touring the U.S. and U.K. throughout the rest of the winter and spring in support of Losing. They resume playing live on February 16th in Norman, OK and don’t break until June 9th, when they play a show in the Netherlands.
