Dev Hynes, Wiki, and Sporting Life teamed up on a song titled “Lord’s Mess” which appears in Letter Racer’s latest clip, an homage to New York City skateboarding. The visual was shot by Emilio Cuilan, Samuel Puglia, and Matt Lubansky. (Lubansky also filmed Wiki’s recent video for “Crib Tax”.)
“Lord’s Mess” builds around a crisp beat and squeaky horn work. Dev Hynes contributes his typical sugary melodies, and Wiki brings his quintessentially New York tone to the mix: Gotta lotta shit I gotta say/ I gotta pray/ But God don’t talk to me/ I oughta be an alter boy honestly. Onyx Collective and Show me the Body also add music to the clip.
Check out the video above, and revisit Sporting Life’s FADER interview.
