WATCH: Phoenix Premieres New 'Trying to Be Cool' Video
by Variance Staff
Phoenix on Tuesday premiered the video for “Trying to Be Cool,” the second single from their latest album, Bankrupt!, out now on Loyaute/Glassnote Records. The video was directed by the CANADA collective and was filmed entirely live in full takes of the song. It's a very fascinating, spectacular clip, full of dancers and bubbles and perhaps an artful interpretation of the song's lyrics about pretentiousness.
