Los Angeles trio L.A. Witch have unveiled the official video to their latest single ‘The Lines’. The track is taken from their upcoming album DOGGOD, out April 4th on Suicide Squeeze Records.

The video features dancer and ASL interpreter Lark Detweiler, who performs throughout the duration. Translating the lyrics in sign language, the rapid pace flows right along with the track which is haunting post-punk. The visuals are directed by Sydney Mills.

Regarding the video, Sydney Mills mentioned:

“The ASL featured in the video is a unique expression of the emotions in Sade Sanchez’s lyrics, personally interpreted and translated by Detweiler. The song ‘The Lines’ features repeating lyrics, but Detweiler wanted to explore the many ways ASL can represent “lines”—tracing the shape of a person, drawing a boundary between two people, or even shooting an arrow toward the stars—each reflecting how humans redefine and interact with lines in unique ways.

By interpreting language into movement, we can express something deep about the struggles of being alive, stuck with a body beyond our control with feeling that can’t always been expressed with words alone. Some of us have to sing. Some play music. Some dance. Some sign. In “The Lines,” Detweiler is a warrior apostle, calling us toward a realm where the raw, blaring sounds of L.A. Witch ignites both ecstasy and the rebellion of true expression.”

In terms of the song, L.a. Witch’s Sade Sanchez stated:

“The Lines’ for me is a key song in terms of production on this album and the shift in our sound. We used a lot of effects we hadn’t utilized as much before like Chorus, Flanger, and string machines including the Solina and Roland VP330. This is the link between our surfy, California garage influences and our faster, colder influences…You could even say our more European influences.”
