Chicago’s own volcano! have
cut to the delicious, poultry-filled center of it all with a new video
for the titular first single off their upcoming record, Piñata. In the video, directed by Brian Cagle (and premiered today on SPIN.com),
we see the band blindly stumbling through the woods and serendipitously
converging in an open field with a beastly piñata hanging from a lone
maple tree. The ensuing death ritual is more surgical than your typical
piñata execution, and the interior prizes include more than candy. A
strange tale of revenge fantasy and summer picnicking, this lead track
off Piñata represents volcano!’s first release since 2008’s Paperwork, and their finest affair to date. It’s out June 12th on The Leaf Label.
