"Funny enough, my house got hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years the night before we were supposed to record. We managed to haul the entire band and all our gear up the mountain using side by sides. Not long after we settled in, the ice started and the power went out."
He said that they recorded the music video "gas-powered" using a generator and "a shopping cart full of extension cords and splitters." Oliver Anthony also gave a special shoutout to Joseph, a volunteer firefighter in Chile, for the firefighting footage used in the MV.
At the time of writing, the music video currently has over 250 thousand views. Meanwhile, Scornful Woman has climbed the charts to reach No.25 on the iTunes Top 100 Songs in the US, as of Thursday, June 5, 2025.
