EMA has released a video for “Take One Two”, the latest single off her top album Past Life Martyred Saints. It comprises footage of Erika M. Anderson “dressing up, hanging out, making up funny skits” with her friends in the mid-1990s. However, as Anderson explains, there’s a rather important underlying message:

“This footage comes from a South Dakota trailer park in the mid-90s, and features a small group of freaks and misfits who seem to be having the time of their lives. Dressing up, hanging out, making up funny skits, and lots of laughing. When I look back now at our fresh young faces (yes that is me with the short dark hair and cat-eye liner), I’m amazed at how simply happy we all look. This is especially remarkable as I know what was going on outside those plywood walls: getting called names, shoved into lockers, and threatening to get our asses kicked for being queer or punk or just plain weird.
