A music video for the new single “violins” has now been released. The clip was directed by Nick Chance (Orthodox, Lorna Shore), with guitarist/vocalist Gabe Manuel commenting:
“We almost always write pieces of songs and put them together in the studio, but ‘Violins‘ was one of a few songs on this record that we finished writing pretty far in advance.
