Chase Atlantic are starring in their own Quentin Tarantino-inspired movie with the explosive new visual for “OHMAMI.”
The band, who were Alternative Press’ cover stars for the 100 Artists You Need To Know issue, directed and edited the video themselves. The end product? A cinematic and creative storyline jam-packed with iconic imagery.

Opening with an introduction of the members of Chase Atlantic—lead vocalist/bassist Mitchel Cave, guitarist/vocalist Clinton Cave and rhythm guitarist/lead vocalist Christian Anthony—the video features piles of money, expensive yachts and luxurious drama. This makes it synonymous with movies such as Blow and The Wolf Of Wall Street, as well as the “fast life” aesthetic of the ’80s and ’90s. There are even hints of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City-inspired moments throughout the video.
“It’s the type of song that allows you to really feel yourself, to actually feel alive,” the band say in a press release. “Yet, at the same time, it provides an escape from reality. Even if it’s just momentarily, you can feel the effect of the song lingering in the brain like audible drugs.”
In true movie fashion, the visual also has a villain, played by the band’s touring guitarist Patrick Wilde. However, toward the end of the video, he meets his demise at the hands of Mitchel’s girlfriend, Jordan Knight, on their yacht.

“OHMAMI” was initially released earlier this summer and was the first single from the band after they shared their third full-length, BEAUTY IN DEATH, with fans in March 2020. That release followed their previous two albums, 2019’s PHASES and their self-titled 2017 debut.

“OHMAMI” lyrics:
Cuban link, diamond cross
I got a Spanish Chiquita “No habla ingles”
Not at all
Cut up three lines like Adidas
She clean that shit up with her nose
And I got a kilo, no Kilimanjaro baby
Just a mountain of coke
OHMAMI
This a new ‘Rari
Hit 150 on the dash, I bent the corner
Then she bent it for me sideways
I might have to fuck her on the highway
OHMAMI
I got blue Molly
I throw Louis V, Supreme on top of Murakami
Bitch, I’m fucking styling
I might say I love her, but I’m lying
Mamacita, I can see the devil in your eyes
Muy bonita
Tu quieres estar, by my side
She might make me stay in for the night, for the night
Call Maria, let’s get drunk,
I haven’t been out for a month
Got a two-liter in the back
And another bottle in the trunk
Columbian gold in the front seat
The foreign girls showing me love
Telling your friends that you hate me
But I know you can’t get enough

OHMAMI
This a new ‘Rari
Hit 150 on the dash, I bent the corner
ugh now bend it for me sideways
I might have to fuck her on the highway
OHMAMI
I got blue Molly
I throw Louis V, Supreme on top of Murakami
Bitch, I’m fucking styling
I might say I love her, but I’m lying
OHMAMI, this a new ‘Rari
Bitch, I’m fucking styling
I don’t need no stylist
All of my dogs they be whyling
Fuck a double date
Double down on everything I say
You can bring a friend, but she don’t get to stay
Guarantee she’ll end up leaving anyway
Never play, dog watch out
Dark flames when my doors swing out
Switch lanes on a one-way route
Switchblade make your blood pour out
Make it rain in a drought
Hop in and hop out
Motherfucker, get down when I say “down”
Brown duffle bag, I fill it up with 30 clip rounds
Drop shit, pop wheelies, fuck a breakdown
I don’t give a —
Bitch, I’mma slide either way
Please do not try me today
I see the static from a mile away
She wanna fuck me “OK”
She wanna know how it tastes
Yuh
(Fuck all that talking I’m restless)
I pray that I don’t get arrested, pray that she wake up for breakfast
I pray that she wake up for breakfast
