In March, Chrissie Hynde announced her first solo album, Stockholm, with the single “Dark Sunglasses.” Now the Pretenders frontwoman shares an accompanying video in which director Steve Glashier highlights a bevy of sunglasses-clad Austin, Texas residents. The clip, which debuted on Stereogum, is pretty straightforward, featuring wide shots and close-ups of friendly faces young and old interspersed with shots of the city. The song, meanwhile, is a peppy musing on a riches-to-rags story, centered around the 62-year-old Hynde’s strong-as-ever vocals. Due June 10 via Caroline, Stockholm is produced by Peter Bjorn and John’s Björn Yttling and features guest spots by Neil Young and, yep, tennis legend John McEnroe.
