Rolling Stone has premiered the video for “Leftovers”, the much talked about collaboration between PS I Love You and good friend Diamond Rings. The clip was directed by Colin Medley, who’s worked with both artists in the past — PS I Love You “Facelove”, Diamond Rings “All Yr Songs” and “Something Else”. “Leftovers” will be available on PS I Love You’s forthcoming rarities compilation, Figure It Out, due out August 30 on vinyl and as a digital download.

Rolling Stone says of the clip, “The band gives a glimpse at life on their joint tour with Diamond Rings this past spring. Like director Colin Medley’s previous collaboration with the band, this take is candid and fun. Cut with performance footage and the making of an over-the-top meal, the video skips the showy stuff and chronicles what singer/guitarist Paul Saulnier says the band does best: “take days off and have dinner parties.”
Medley elaborates a bit further, “I was on the road with the bands mostly for fun but also to document the tour any way I knew how. Most nights, PS I Love You would end their set by inviting Diamond Rings to the stage to play their single “Leftovers.” With no clear plan in mind, I started to tape their performances of the single. Halfway through the tour when we found ourselves with a day off, we decided it might be fun to develop a music video for the song while still on the road. Driving from Austin, TX to Tuscon, AZ, we stopped over in a small town called Marfa, TX (pop. 2000) and rented a trailer for the night. Using the song’s title as a cue, Paul (of PS I Love You) cooked up an amazing meal for all of us in the small confines of our mobile home, and of course, there were plenty of leftovers.”
PS I Love You hits the road on September 3rd in Seattle, WA at the Bumbershoot Festival and wraps up on October 29th in Kingston, ON at Grad Club with support from the likes of Suuns and Balkans (select dates). View full tour dates below.
