Swedish husband and wife duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums are steadily increasing their back catalogue, what with the release of two new EPs this year, the sum of which will make their new album, and the follow-up to 2009's The Snake. The first of these was the Retina EP, which we reviewed here.
A track which appears on that EP now has a video, and we can now show it to you. It's 'Bleed Like There Was No Other Flood' and has been directed by fellow Swede Patrik Instedt. It's trademark Wildbirds, although perhaps a smidgen calmer than usual. The wailing remains. Watch it below:
