Video: Sister Vanilla (Jesus & Mary Chain): "Can't Stop the Rock"
As we've reported, there's been more activity on the Jesus and Mary Chain front than just their upcoming Coachella show. Brothers Jim and William Reid, along with their sister Linda, have also teamed up under the name Sister Vanilla. Their debut album, Little Pop Rock, is out this week, along with the band's first video. Linda's high, sweet vocals sit above her brothers', much like the guitar lead that ambles over the acoustic strumming.
The video is shot from a first person point of view, and stays focused on the main character's pair of hands, showing them from birth to old age. While most of what the person touches are food, drinks, and cigarettes, he or she also starts a letter, then throws it away, and looks through old photos. It's a simple video that speaks to the relaxed tone of the song. The video was directed by Polite.
