Watch the premiere of the new Paper Lions video "My Friend"

by Nicole Villeneuve

Prince Edward Island’s Paper Lions recently released their debut album My Friends, and we’ve got the premiere of the video for its first single, “My Friend.”

“Shot on the beautiful Charlottetown waterfront, we got together with good friend and fellow Belfast native Mille Clarkes,” guitarist/vocalist Colin Buchanan says of the moody performance clip. “We wanted to try three different lighting techniques for the three different videos we shot. Sure disco balls have been done before, but they are just too damn fun!”

The other two he’s referring to are the rest of a three-part performance series called The Seaport Sessions (another of which you can see here), all filmed in a PEI warehouse. Check out the clip for “My Friend” above, and go see Paper Lions on their marathon tour through the U.S. and Canada; those dates are below.
