National fever. Their FIFTH full-length record, High Violet, came out Monday. We very much liked it. Yesterday they announced a new UK tour for November taking in the delights of Bristol, Warwick, Manchester, Glasgow and, of course, the capital city that is London.
They've now unveiled the video for lead single from the aforementioned record, the wonderfully sorrow-drowning 'Bloodbuzz Ohio', which came out as a single on May 3. Video has been directed by a trio of Hope Hall, Andreas Burgess, and Carin Besser. Watch it below:
