Psychic Hotline & Friends Star in Dreamy Video for 'Empathy'

New Orleans punk darling Psychic Hotline's new video "Empathy," for a track of their album Planned Obsolescence, is equal parts dreamy, hypnotic and unsettling. Featuring a cast of NOLA queer favorites including Oblivia and Softie, the clip is as ephemeral as it is jarring. Directed by Michael Aros, the video is dedicated "in loving memory of Pixote."
