Here's the new video and title track from Wooden Shjips excellent new album released 3 days ago. (previewed here September).
"the clip follows a private investigator who ends up in a town that's populated entirely by clowns. Everywhere he looks, the detective meets red-and-white grimaces and dead-eyed stares accented by eyeliner... "
It's a simple enough plot with an ending reasonably predictable and there's not a sight of the band in any of it. And that's crap. It would have been real good to see them working over "Back To Land" in the studio or some place.
But the track is all you need and that is full on with touches of The Velvet's, Suicide, you name your own. It space rocks along.
They're presently working their tour through the States and come to the UK for just 3 dates in December and extends into the rest of Europe in February. Check the full tour itinery at their site. And buy the album from Thrill Jockey.
