]]> Following their acclaimed sophomore album Wild Nights, Manchester quintet PINS are back with a new new video for the track ‘Dazed By You’. Filmed during a week-long, 2,500km drive between Seattle and Michigan, the three minute montage show the band experiencing the realities of the vast American landscape. As they explain in the press release:

“We stopped off at a natural hot spring on (keys and guitar player) Kyoko’s birthday, detoured though the Badlands, pulled over in the middle of nowhere to check out some old abandoned cars, and found an old petrol station in Jackpot, Nevada. The video was filmed on Super 8, then drawn on, scratched and burned afterwards”

The drawing/scratching/burning they mention produces some really cool effects, from lyrics superimposed onto the footage like scrawlings on a chalkboard, to a whole manner of imperfections and distortions. The end result is like playing an old VHS tape in an even older VCR player, where tracking lines and interference give everything that nostalgic scuffed-up aesthetic, which fits perfectly with the band’s sound.

Wild Nights is out now on Bella Union and you can buy it here. If you are a fan of Girlpool and acts of that ilk you won’t regret it. Also, for those of you in the UK, PINS will be stopping at various locales to play for you during September:

17th Sept – The Portland Arms, Cambridge
18th Sept – Deaf Institute, Manchester
19th Sept – Sneaky Petes, Edinburgh
22th Sept – Hare & Hounds, Birmingham
23th Sept – Oslo, London
