Marfa Play Amateur Detectives In New “Remedy” Music Video

Americana indie-rock duo Marfa take on the role of two quirky amateur detectives, chasing down a mysterious drug dealer in their new music video for “Remedy,” out today (8.20) via Big Machine Records/ASCEND Music.

Directed by Bryson Kelso, the cinematic short-film follows band members Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall as they attempt to close-in on an underground drug ring distributing a mysterious pill called “Lost Cause,” a name pulled from the song’s lyrics. Complete with a classic detective board covered in photos, clippings, pins and a chaotic web of red string connecting the clues, the video transforms Marfa’s “buzzy… daring, unpretentious” (Billboard) music into a gritty, A24-style comedic thriller. 

Released on August 14 and produced by Ryan Marrone (Sabrina Carpenter, JP Saxe), “Remedy” explores the lingering frustration and mutual fault of being continuously pulled back into a toxic, unreciprocated relationship

Praised by Ones to Watch for their “commitment to storytelling and crafting songs that transport listeners to a vivid, specific place,” Marfa is bringing that same world-building to a three-part music video series that unfolds as one interconnected short film. “Remedy” kicks off the series, with two more chapters to come, each packed with Easter eggs and callbacks that gradually reveal the bigger story.

ABOUT MARFA:
Marfa makes music somewhere between the hazy dreamscape of the mythical Laurel Canyon and the restless energy of modern indie rock. Texas and Washington-raised and shaped by their time in Colorado, Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall pair sun-soaked sonics, indie-rock DNA, and timeless storytelling into a sound that feels like the next chapter of the folk and rock icons who came before them, while remaining uniquely their own. 

KCRW praised the duo for making “music that ties Laurel Canyon to West Texas,” while Billboard highlighted their range from Everly Brothers-inspired folk-pop to buzzy Americana-rock, calling their music “daring, unpretentious and commercially accessible.” Ones To Watch highlighted their “commitment to storytelling and crafting songs that transport listeners to a vivid, specific place.” The band was also named “Best Breakout Folk Duo” by Westword and featured in HITS Daily Double’s “New & Developing” roundup alongside Olivia Dean and KATSEYE.

Signed to Big Machine Records/ASCEND Music, Marfa has steadily built momentum with songs like breakout track “Daisy,” produced by Josh Block (Leon Bridges, Caamp), which is closing in on 10M streams, “Run For My Money,” produced by Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Dawes, Billy Strings), “If It Ain’t You,” produced by Andrew DeRoberts (Tate McRae, Justin Timberlake), and more. 

Marfa’s upcoming project, produced by Ryan Marrone (Sabrina Carpenter, JP Saxe), opens the door to an even bigger, more cinematic chapter, one that stretches beyond the confines of Americana without losing what makes the duo feel unmistakably human. After sharing stages with The Head and The Heart, Band of Horses, 49 Winchester, Willow Avalon and many others, the pair will continue on the road with Houndmouth and a run of co-headlining dates with Jason Scott & The High Heat this fall.
