Michael Collins recently released a new Drugdealer album called The End of Comedy. Today, he’s shared music video for the title track, which features Weyes Blood. Directed, filmed, and edited by Andrew Storrs, the video was shot in and around Collins’ home and studio in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. Mac DeMarco makes a cameo. Watch the video, and read Collins’ statement about it, below.

Andrew Storrs, an old friend of mine and Natalie Mering’s, came to visit us in Los Angeles and document a few days a little while ago. I’ve always loved his filmmaking—capturing moments in our friends lives in a really magical Cinéma vérité form. Basically, it’s a snapshot of a particular moment while living downtown here in L.A.; playing piano, seeing friends and skating around. The song here is one of my favorite collaborations of all time—me and Nat recorded the whole thing very naturally when she was still living in Far Rockaway, NY about a year ago. It was simple and fun to make, and no one better to represent this on video than Andrew Storrs.
