To us, ‘Pity Party’ has always had an ‘alien fiesta’ sort of vibe, so we decided to really embrace that for the music video. We didn’t want the video to be a ‘damsel in distress’ situation and really loved the idea of the 60s/70s Sci-Fi Barbarella theme. This was such a fun video to film and create!
The song ‘Pity Party’ is about feeling frustrated with someone always feeling sorry for themselves, so I like to think of the aliens as those feelings and the alien hunter trying to shoot them down and get them to come round to the idea of gratitude and only getting to live one life.
We had so much fun terrorising the local town with the aliens and we were lucky enough to use the incredible Number Eight Bakehouse & Forum Music Centre in Darlington to get some great shots of the aliens trying to experience being humans.
Scruffy Bear has also announced their forthcoming EP ‘Good Intentions Of A Grumpy Sun,’ set for release on September 6, 2024. The EP includes ‘Pity Party’ and their previous single ‘Selfish Dreamer.’
Fans can pre-order physical copies of the EP and merchandise bundles on their webstore or pre-save the EP digitally on streaming platforms.
