March 3 — Rock band The Bayonets premiered its debut lyric video this week.
The band — Brain Ray (Paul McCartney, Etta James), Oliver Leiber (son of famed song writer Jerry Leiber), and Lucrecia Lopez Sanz (Nube 9) — unveiled the lyric video for its new single, ‘Argentina‘ Friday.
The video features imagery, such as dancing skeletons, a woman covered in reflective plates meant to look like a human mirrorball, and a woman whose face is covered in glitter. The song’s lyrics are shown over the imagery as the song’s catchy, infectious musical arrangement plays over the presentation.
Speaking of the musical arrangement, it makes for a great introduction for those not yet familiar with the band and its existing body of work. That is because of the pop rock sensibility exhibited throughout the song. One could almost argue that there is the slightest stylistic comparison to works from the likes of The B-52s here in the most positive fashion. At the same time, listeners could also makes a comparison to works from the likes of The Knack, again, in a positive fashion. The whole is a musical exhibition that audiences are certain to enjoy.
The lyrical theme featured in The Bayonets’ new single is just as accessible as the song’s musical arrangement. That is because it is so familiar. In this case, the theme is clearly a story of a man who is overwhelmed for how he feels about a woman.
While Ray, Leiber and Sanz are the primary makeup of The Bayonets, they were not the only musicians who contributed to the group’s new single. Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello) provided the song’s bass line while Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes) added keyboards to the mix. Scott Shriner (Weezer) also had a hand in the track, according to Ray.
