Robyn Hitchcock Shares Video For August Sunglasses

Written by Helen Payne
Robyn Hitchcock has revealed the video for August Sunglasses.
The track is lifted from his self-titled LP, which dropped last April and marked his 21st studio recording. The video, meanwhile, was shot in East Nashville, stars Gillian Welch, and was devised, directed, filmed and edited by Jeremy Dylan.
Speaking about it, Hitchcock said:
“This song was written and set in Sydney, but the mood was just right this September in East Nashville. Gillian Welch, Harlowe Quinn from the 5-Spot (glimpsed onstage there with his band Prayer Flags), and Tubby my Scottish Fold cat are all local characters; they helped Jeremy Dylan and I crystallize the feel of summer turning to autumn here in Tennessee."
Robyn Hitchcock will continue to support his new record with both solo acoustic shows and dates with his backing band, His LA Squires, this summer.
