Trapper Schoepp chronicles the fallout of a Las Vegas wedding thats come up snake eyes in the new animated music video for his song Drive-Thru Divorce. The track appears on the Wisconsin songwriters recent Primetime Illusion LP.
A Milwaukee native, Schoepp uses an upbeat melody and theatrical vocal delivery to create a sharp contrast to the heartbroken lyrics. So its apt that the video animated by Casey Hoaglund Illustration would take on a such a colorful, cartoonish quality. Various impassioned lines from the song are splashed on the screen, like My hearts on fire and Cant help falling in love, as a young couple travels to Sin City, but it soon becomes clear that this trip is a return to the scene of a misdeed. Each landmark they pass that triggers a memory of their wedding has, instead, turned into a grim reminder of a marriage that is in its final throes.

Schoepp released Primetime Illusion, his fourth album, back in January, which notably featured his version of Bob Dylans unfinished 1961 composition On, Wisconsin, for which Dylan granted him a cowriting credit. Currently touring the United Kingdom, Schoepp plays Riverside in Newcastle Upon Tyne on April 4th.
