At the end of last month, Andrew Bird and Fiona Apple unveiled their sweet yet sardonic new song “Left Handed Kisses,” and now, the two singers have shared a music video for their duet.
The Phil Andelman-directed clip offers a direct interpretation of the song, as Bird and Apple go toe-to-toe, delivering their verses as a quarreling couple. Bird previously said he “needed to to find someone really indicting” for the duet, and Apple fits the bill. She's all glass-breaking, foot-stamping acerbity in the video, and Bird returns plenty of eye rolls and sighs for good measure. Check it out above.
“Left Handed Kisses” will appear on Bird’s upcoming full-length Are You Serious when it lands on April 1 via Loma Vista. So far, he’s also shared album singles “Roma Fade” and “Capsized.”
Bird’s upcoming tour will take him to the U.S. on March 30 when he’ll play a show at the Ryman in Nashville, Tenn. He has more North American stops planned through the end of April. See the full itinerary at the singer's website.
