Naked Giants Share “Sluff” Vid Via Billboard

Naked Giants took Austin by storm last week, playing more shows at South By Southwest than we even care to try counting (so we won’t). They were well-received as well, thanks to their infectious energy and their ability to crank it to 11. Hopefully you saw them if you were in Texas for the festival!

Now that the fest is over, the boys are hoping to take your computer by storm with this wicked video for “SLUFF,” the title track off their new LP. Billboard has the premiere, as well as this enlightening anecdote from bassist Gianni Aiello about how they came up with the name: “I knew I wanted to shout something, but I didn’t know what. I was hanging out with my girlfriend and I said, ‘Hey, what’s a good grunge-sounding word?’ She thought for a minute and then said ‘Sluff!’ I said, ‘That’s perfect!'” That’s how magic happens, folks.

Check out the video here, and get Naked Giants high on your chart! This was supposed to be their NACC debut week, but they ended up charting last week anyway so let’s get them to a new peak!
