Watch: PS I love You feat. Diamond Rings: Leftovers

Posted: 18 August, 2011

Two of our favourite Canadians, PS I Love You and Diamond Rings, teamed up earlier this year to record the barnstorming Leftovers for PS I Love You's upcoming Figure It Out, out later this month through our friends at Paper Bag Records.

Now, thanks to filmmaker Colin Medley, Leftovers has the excellent video it deserves. Medley has directed a bunch of clips for the two bands, and was on tour with the bands in the US recently when they decided to stop by Marfa, Texas, one of the strangest places on earth, to shoot the clip.

Medley takes up the story: 'I was on the road with the bands mostly for fun but also to document the tour any way I knew how. Most nights, PS I Love You would end their set by inviting Diamond Rings to the stage to play their single "Leftovers."

'With no clear plan in mind, I started to tape their performances of the single. Halfway through the tour when we found ourselves with a day off, we decided it might be fun to develop a music video for the song while still on the road. Driving from Austin, TX to Tuscon, AZ, we stopped over in a small town called Marfa, TX (pop. 2000) and rented a trailer for the night.

'Using the song's title as a cue, Paul (of PS I Love You) cooked up an amazing meal for all of us in the small confines of our mobile home, and of course, there were plenty of leftovers.'

Like all Medley's clips, the film was made for almost nothing, but looks great. Check it out below.
