New Numbers Video - "Mind Hole"

"Mind Hole" gets off with a simple, plaintive piano line, but Numbers' need for noise gets the better of 'em soon enough, first with a bucket-of-fuzz tease, then with the dusky post-punk underlying Indra's lines about "eyes on infinity" and "oblivion," which clip director Alison Childs puts into sparkly, cosmic imagery. All this while the San Fran trio turn, turn, turn in colored lens filters and waves of overdrive keys 'n' guitars. Numbers' last record was We Are Animals, and they continue their assessing with the forthcoming follow up Now You Are This. Don't know what "this" is, but now we are hoping the rest of the record is this good.

Now You Are This is 8/21 via Kill Rock Stars. Tour dates after the jump.
