The music video for Liz Phair’s new track, “Spanish Doors,” from her forthcoming album “Soberish,” has been released. The album, which follows 2010’s Funstyle, is her first studio release in 11 years and will be released on June 4th by Chrysalis Records.
The music video for “Spanish Doors” uses mirror-like visual effects to depict the emotional struggle of divorce and seeing a “ghost in the mirror” when confronted with one’s own failures in a relationship. Phair appears on the beach, where she edits the opacity of a picture on her iPhone to make herself hide, while singing against a Spanish-style house.
Phair said in a statement that she got the idea for Soberish in the Art Rock and New Wave music she listened to in art school.
Brad Wood, the producer and drummer who previously collaborated with Phair on her albums Exile in Guyville, Whip-Smart, and Whitechocolatespaceegg, produced Soberish with her. Following the previously released LP tracks “Hey Lou” and “Good Side,” “Spanish Doors” is the third single from the album.
