Grandtheft Shares Dark Video for Lowell Collaboration "Quit This City"

Toronto producer Grandtheft has shared a video for his track “Quit This City”, which features Toroto pop singer Lowell. Directed by John Poliquin and shot in Barcelona, the clip tells the story of a sex worker. Watch it below, via Pitchfork.tv

According to the video’s makers:

Shot across two nights in Barcelona with a primarily Spanish cast and crew, these scenes are a combination of conventional filmmaking and on-the-wall documentary observations. Many of the scenes were filmed in the rowdy nightlife district where the camera had to be concealed at points for safety. The scenes where the girls are working the corner was photographed on a long lens from across the street, which led to the actresses being approached by both police and men looking to hire sex workers. Some of the men who approached the actresses were disrespectful and harassing, which unfortunately mirrored the malicious spirit of the final man in the film.

“Quit This City” is off of Grandtheft’s EP Quit This City, which is out today via Mad Decent/Pirates Blend. Update 10/30 12:19 p.m.: You can stream the EP here.
