“We were excited to work again with Dan Zachary (who shot Diamond Baby) because he had a great sensibility about capturing the vibe of the band.” explained Aaron. ” The song ‘American High’ on the surface seems like a great American party tune but it’s actually about the polarization of values and beliefs that is occurring everywhere in North America right now under the new administration”.
“We love our USA neighbors and wanted to celebrate the things we treasure about America, so we incorporated iconic characters into the video like Elvis, Lady Liberty, Lincoln and Amelia Earhart.” she continued. “We thought there was a comic irony in actually inviting those characters to a decadent limousine party where everyone could blow off some steam and get wrecked. Serious, but funny as heck.”
“My favourite part of the American High video is that it shows the genuinely fun interaction and love of rock n roll that we all share…it is a testament to Lee’s artistic vision that she is able to take the vibe of a song and perfectly manifest it visually.” added guitarist Sean Kelly.”I really treasure my writing relationship with Lee, and American High totally captures so many of our influences while still retaining all the hallmarks of the Lee Aaron sound…big guitars and drums, and world class melodies and vocals!”
