New York "dream-thrash" band HUFF THIS! (all caps and exclamation point intact, thanks), is the woozy hallucination of Alison Clancy, a dancer who has performed with the Metropolitan Opera. Naturally her rhythms often have the same fluid tempos and nauseated bounce as the most gymnastic piece of contemporary dance. The songs on her upcoming Tuff Love (due this fall) were written during a period of heartbreak, and the arrhythmic "Lovin' You" represents the dizzying effects of lost love, with Clancy staggering about like a seasick Bat For Lashes. Says Clancy, "Musically I wanted a disoriented feeling, like when you're under a wave and the water pulls you in all directions at once. I asked Molly Allis to play the drums like she was drunk and stumbling to catch the beat." Check out its video, featuring a leotard-clad Clancy bounding and twirling in a Coney Island thunderstorm, below.
