Rock group Girls released a video for "My Ma" off their most recent album Father, Son, Holy Ghost exclusively on Team Coco yesterday. The lo-fi, lovely drone of their music is the perfect backdrop to the stripped down video.

"My Ma" plays more short documentary on "the-day-in-the-life-of" a middle-aged woman than an actual music video. The video features a woman peering through scrapbooks of what looks like her previous acting career.
