Speaking on the video Alex explains, “The video for across the city was compiled from footage found on the camcorder I had as a kid. I would just sit quietly in the corner for hours and film people, zoom up on their faces, or just whatever caught my eye. Then when the preteen/early teen years started, it was all about lip syncing to Avril Lavigne, Pink, and The Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack. My best friend at the time and I would just film each other singing in my room, sober, for hours.”

“I was trying to capture the magic of adolescence with this footage - the song has a certain emotional quality between the chord changes and the lyrics - and I think the images and the music play off each other in a beautiful way. I miss the innocence and creativity of this age, before all your insecurities swallowed you whole, and you were truly free. Featuring all my childhood best friends, family, and some sneaky cameos.”

Alex Little & The Suspicious Minds comprises of Little, Andy Bishop (White Ash Falls, Twin River), Cody Hiles (The Zolas), and bassist Mike Rosen. Little previously played in bands as a drummer, and when she picked up a guitar, she reached out to her friend Andy Bishop (White Ash Falls, Twin River) to teach her a few tricks. Songs began pouring out of them, and drummer Cody Hiles (The Zolas) and bassist Mike Rosen got involved.

Known for their garage-pop songs that unflinchingly tackle drug addiction, mental health and heartbreak and yet, despite the heavy subject matter, the group’s soaring choruses and loud guitars mean that the mood is cathartic rather than heavy with a sound that blends searing distortion with aching pop hooks and a psychedelic wash of reverb.
