WATCH: Tuff Love share new video for ‘Duke’

Having released the debut EP last year, and toured with the likes of Real Estate, Honeyblood and Shoegaze legends ‘Ride’, scuzzy indie-pop duo Tuff Love are back with a video for new track ‘Duke’, ahead of their upcoming EP.

Filled with fuzzy riffs and delicate harmonies, ‘Duke’ further proves Tuff Love’s skill for creating compulsively catchy and wonderfully woozy tunes. Directed by Ben Cowie and Alan Cameron, the video is a charming DIY creation; the band have said of the video:

“We spent 8 hours lying on the ground putting our faces through little holes to make the video for Duke. If you like stripes and patterns then you might like this. If it looks like we are in pain then it’s because we are – it was like doing one big long crunch for 8 hours. We did have some support from pillows for head support but they didn’t work 100%.. anyways we now have abs and we did not before.”
