(Possibly) New Music Vid for 'Young Adult Friction'

This was posted to Pitchfork.tv yesterday, and it seems that it might be something like the official music video for the Pains of Being Pure at Heart single "Young Adult Friction." This song is catchy as hell and certainly sounds like spring to my ears.

The video starts out with main lady Peggy reading a copy of "Ghosts Among Us," and takes on a true Brooklyn-ite house show feel--playing with toy dinosaurs, sitting on couches, apartment lighting, fuzziness, the whole thing screams "hipster." Which I love. There's the vague look of an Arcade Fire video, but the sound is a new pop-punk-lo fi beast and the actual video is much less theatrical. All around, this video seems to really capture the playful at heart vibe that you get from listening to this actual song with only audio to guide you. The video hints randomly at childhood subjects, like toy animals, reading library books, tons of friends cramming onto one couch, and how awkward it was when you first started hanging out with boys AND girls.

Enjoy!
