L.A.’s own Family of the Year are still buzzing from the success of their single, “Hero,” featured in the trailer and on the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning film “Boyhood.” Now they’ve shared the  music video for their latest single, “Make You Mine,” off their upcoming self-titled release (out Sept. 4). Joe Keefe, the singer-guitarist and the only band member featured in the video, says, “’Make You Mine’ is about darkness and light … the winter and the summer. It was written during a blizzard while visiting my mom on Martha’s Vineyard. As a teenager, I remember how much we looked forward to summer and how we were just trying to get through the cold winter months.” The video is a short film directed by Marçal Forès, following the escapades of an aftershave-thieving twenty-something gossiping with her girlfriends about her almost sexual exploits and trying to take the perfect sleeping selfie. Forès wanted to poke fun of the stereotypical jaded rock star living in this social media era. According to Forès it’s mainly about, “love and devotion. A tribute to fandom in which after-partys’ headaches go, but just like love, your posts on Instagram/Twitter last forever.” It’s so 2015.
