Haven't heard any backstory (I'll ask!) but I saw this posted on stereogum.com:
"The Jon Ramos-directed video for The Golden Age's
appropriately nostalgic standout track stars Laura Palmer's mom getting
slowly wasted in some west coast bar. As she passes the hours, drowning
her sorrows amid cigarette butts, doodles, peanuts, and the hard stuff,
Mark Eitzel and his American Music Clubbers are reflected in the
glasses in lieu of pink elephants."
