Chicago’s Videotape will soon release Underwater Weather, their second LP, and Jess Price has made a video for its "Little Wolves". It’s lovingly handmade and hazy, while the song jangles and soars, slowly revealing its depth as it plays. The album will be released on October 28th, and you can order your copy here, from their Bandcamp.

premiere: Videotape - Little Wolves

Spooky new vid closing out the Chicago band’s forthcoming sophomore album Underwater Weather LP.  Singer Sophie Leigh tells me "a while back, you published my letter, along with our song, ‘Monsters’. We’ve been working really hard on a new album called Underwater Weather. It’s taken a long time to write, and save money, and record, and to save more money, then record the second half of the album. We finally finished last weekend.” Worth the wait.

Video filmed and edited by Jess Price.
