After waking up in bed already wearing his Sunday's best, Hawthorne hits the town (Silver Lake, specifically) and winds up running into six different versions of himself — he's everywhere.
Hawthorne also released a new song in honor of this fruitful new commercial collabo, ironically titled “No Strings.” It's produced by L.A. duo Classixx (who've remixed Yacht and Phoenix) and it's not throwback soul.
We're hoping this starts a new meme: “No throwsoul” (rhymes with “no homo”).
