Spiritual Cramp present Sharon Van Etten duet, "You’ve Got My Number"
San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp have released their second album, RUDE, alongside a video for the track, "You’ve Got My Number" featuring Sharon Van Etten.
Directed and animated by Jack Hamilton and Dylan Wilson, the video reimagines Spiritual Cramp vocalist Mike Bingham as and animated character navigating the psychological toll of endless touring and the relentless pursuit of success.
When you focus on yourself and the people around you, you can keep your side of the street clean,” Bingham says. “And when I see the opposite of that, I get kind of offended, which is what a lot of these songs are about.” The album reads like a love letter to San Francisco, with Los Angeles—where Bingham relocated shortly before the debut—serving as the unkept side of the street. “My foundation is in San Francisco, California, and from there I can go anywhere and be who I am,” Bingham says.
RUDE is out now via Blue Grape Music.
