Fresh from the electric crowd at Primavera this month, CMAT has released a new video for ‘Peter Bogdanovich’, a firm fan favorite from her debut album, If My Wife Knew I’d Be Dead.

It follows the sexual tension on the set of The Last Picture Show in an incredibly quirky and eccentric manner.

Explaining the origin of the track, she said: "To cut a long story short, Peter ran away and left his wife for yungwan (the lead actress in the film, Cybill Shepherd). I was taken by this particular story because I love his early films, and I loved finding out that his wife, Polly Platt, was the player who was actually responsible for what I love most about his films.

"I was really interested in everyone's motivations - Peter for acting so selfishly, Cybill for throwing a bomb on a marriage and her work, and most of all Polly, for staying to work on the film even after the affair came out.

"I think it is a great allegory for the role that the construct of gender plays in all of our decisions, and how if gender and sexuality weren’t really seen as such a rigid ‘thing’, our lives would be very different."

The music video, which was directed by Jake Passmore and Sam Brautigan, has a vintage feel to it and is definitely on theme with the catchy track.

'Peter Bogdanovich' comes from her debut album If My Wife Knew I'd Be Dead, which Hot Press declared as "one of the most thrilling Irish pop debuts of the century."

"Behind the Rhinestone Cowboy glitz and glamour, CMAT is one of the most fearlessly introspective singer-songwriters to have emerged from these shores in years".
