Robyn Hitchcock — Wasted (dir. Josh McCartney)
Josh McCartney leads Robyn Hitchcock through colourful Egersund in a wide‑angle, grainy music video that features googly‑eye props and cameos by Grace Conrad, Kai Slater and Norman Blake.
Watch on YouTubeOn screen: Robyn Hitchcock walks and performs through sunlit streets and interiors of Egersund, Norway, interrupted by closeups of adhesive googly eyes, a talking hand duet and eerie glass‑sphere shots in an abandoned Victorian lecture room. The visuals favour saturated colour, heavy grain and wide‑angle framing that foregrounds playful visual gags and experimental montage.
Credits named by Hitchcock: Josh McCartney is credited as director and as the shooter (Robyn Hitchcock Substack). Robyn Hitchcock appears as performer; Grace Conrad and Kai Slater (of Sharp Pins) and Norman Blake (of Teenage Fan Club) join him singing on the final chorus, according to Hitchcock’s note (Substack).
What is not named: no producer, editor or other crew credits are listed in Hitchcock’s announcement; the broader “Nashville crew” who recorded the song for The Confuser sessions are also unnamed in the post (Substack; Guitar World).
Promonews describes the finished clip as an offbeat journey through colourful Egersund, noting its grainy textures, saturated colour palette and wide‑angle compositions that give the piece a handmade, postcard‑like quality (Promonews).
