Los Angeles punk artist La Louma has released a feminist visual for her song, “Tin Roof Now” off her debut LP, Let The World Be Flooded Out out now on Bitchwave. The video premiered on Culture Collide, who describes the album as “a beautiful collection of expansive art rock tracks that explores themes of depression, mental health and discrimination. In a time like today, these stories are needed more than ever.”
The music video was directed by Diane Russo and features actress Chelsea Watts (Power, Quantico, The Verge). La Louma states that:
“Being a gay teenager living in the south in the late 90s, I often felt isolated. Survival demanded adaptability and the search for a community required determination. So I was an immediate YES when director Diane Russo told me her concept for the “Tin Roof Now” video — a strong woman surviving on her own while on a journey to find her community. I had written the song directly following a massive rainstorm in Georgia, plus I’m a very outdoorsy person, so it felt extra perfect that Diane wanted to shoot the video in the wilds of Tennessee. It was absolutely magical, exploring waterfalls and hiking to unmarked secret caves in the rain with our 4-woman cast/crew, along with our location expert, queer photographer Benjy Russell. Producer Sara Zion kept us on schedule and our bad ass actress Chelsea Watts serenaded us with opera arias while I drove the minivan, and we all stayed up way too late every night cause we were having so much fun hanging out with each other! For those beautifully lush few days, the five of us embodied the community we sought. It’s exactly what we’re doing with Bitchwave — building a longterm culture of support, strength, and positivity!”
