Social Animals have a new music video for the single “Something to Keep Me Awake.” The footage was shot in Europe by Brendon Marti in pre-pandemic 2020.

Singer Dedric Clark stated on Facebook that he wrote “Something to Keep Me Awake” on a 14-hour trip from Cloquet to Nashville in his mother’s old Ford Taurus.

Social Animals release the seven-inch record Best Years today. The group is self-quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic, waiting for a North American tour with Beach Slang to get rescheduled.

The record features previously released singles “Bad Things” and “Best Years,” and the new single “Get Over It.”

This video has been removed from YouTube.

Another studio video by former Duluth band the Social Animals, shot at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, Ore. The band’s new home base is Nashville, but a trip to Duluth is planned in May to play the Homegrown Music Festival.
