Jeffrey Innes has just released High Ends’ debut album ‘Super Class‘ physically and digitally via Dine Alone Records, and he has now revealed a new video lifted from the album. Album single Intoxicated is a psych-rock anthem strapped with rhythmic shifts and a catchy melody. Watch the video via YouTube below.

Video editor Tyler Witzel put a modernist art spin on the dance-able track when creating the “Intoxicated” video. He explains, “At the time Jeff asked me to do the video, I had been working on a few designs for large outdoor, public sculptures. I thought animation would feel right for the video and aesthetically I wanted it to have a ’70s era National Film Board feel. From that came this idea of a drunken visit to an art gallery where everything kind of looks like the inside of a person’s body. I didn’t want anything overly literal associating to the themes of the song but if you’re wondering what all the pink goo is about, it’s “Cartoon Moonshine” or Pepto Bismol. Your choice.”
The ten-song ‘Super Class‘ LP was recorded with producer Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan, The New Pornographers) at his Vancouver Island facility. During the sessions, Gold & Youth drummer Jeff Mitchelmore handled percussion, Louise Burns and The New Pornographers’ Kathryn Calder contributed backing vocals, and Ladyhawk’s Darcy Hancock laid down guitar.
Innes has taken his psychedelic, synth-soaked tunes and live show to stages across North America – below are the remaining tour dates.
