Video: The Waves - Villagers

Villagers - "The Waves" - http://smarturl.it/villagers_thewaves Villagers new single is called 'The Waves' and is due for release on October 22nd, but you can buy it on iTunes now: http://smarturl.it/villagers_thewaves Directed by Alden Volney.

​It's taken me a while to realise just how magnificent this single is from Villagers. 'The Waves' is something like what I would imagine the love child of the Notwist, Can and an early 90s rave to sound like. The video, directed by Alden Volney, is totally sick too.
